Chop tree as festival season arrives (6)
I believe the answer is:
easter
'festival season arrives' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'chop tree as' is the wordplay.
'chop' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'tree'+'as'='treeas'
'treeas' anagrammed gives 'EASTER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Christian festival of celebration" , "Card, egg or Island" , "Christian celebration for Teresa" , "break" , "Teaser about Christian festival" .)
