Close to me, wanting a little peck, lips met to get working? (9)
I believe the answer is:
mistletoe
'close' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mistletoe that I've seen before include "Something to stand under when kissing?" , "Valley of the -, best seller by Jacqueline Susann" , "Tree parasite" , "Kissed-under plant" , "Yuletide hanging?" .)
