Create havoc, losing the head in fuss about out-dated bathroom colour? (7)
I believe the answer is:
avocado
'colour?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'create havoc losing the head in fuss' is the wordplay.
'create' indicates anagramming the letters.
'losing the head' means to remove the first letter.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fuss' becomes 'ado' (synonyms).
'havoc' with its initial letter taken away is 'avoc'.
'avoc' with letters rearranged gives 'voca'.
'voca' placed into 'ado' is 'AVOCADO'.
'about out-dated bathroom' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for avocado that I've seen before include "Fruit with large stone" , "Savoury pear" , "Light green; fruit" , "Fruity type" , "Tropical tree - edible green-skinned fruit" .)
