Cross where rice grows? (2,1,5)
I believe the answer is:
in a paddy
'cross' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'rice grows?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'rice' could be 'paddy' (paddy is a kind of rice) and 'paddy' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ina' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for in a paddy that I've seen is " Furious".)
