Comes to the point of a peculiar repast? (6)
I believe the answer is:
tapers
'comes to the point' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'peculiar repast?' is the wordplay.
'peculiar' indicates an anagram (a peculiar or strange ordering of the letters).
'repast' with letters rearranged gives 'TAPERS'.
'of a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tapers that I've seen before include "Narrows towards the end, like a candle" , "Repast with slender candles" , "Becomes gradually narrower as candle may" , "Long thin candles" , "Diminishes gradually" .)
