Container of little colour, say (4)
I believe the answer is:
pail
This clue might be a double definition.
'container' is the first definition.
(pail is a kind of container)
'little colour say' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pail that I've seen before include "water-carrier" , "Vessel for carrying liquids" , "Kind of bucket - ask Jack and Jill" , "Water carrier" , "Cylindrical vessel" .)
