Coating of fruit and nuts given to relatives (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
banana skin
'coating of fruit' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'nuts given to relatives' is the wordplay.
'nuts' becomes 'bananas' (as in crazy).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'relatives' becomes 'kin' (kin can mean relatives or family).
'bananas'+'kin'='BANANA SKIN'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for banana skin that I've seen before include "that could lead to one's downfall" , "slipper" , "Something unforeseen that may cause a slip-up" , "something to cause embarrassment" , "One to slip on" .)
