Dec's partner in Kenyan trip (3)
I believe the answer is:
ant
'dec's partner' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'in kenyan trip' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANT' is hidden in the letters of 'kenyan trip'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ant that I've seen before include "A soldier, for one" , "Dec's long-time partner" , "One working hard" , "one living in colonies" , "Little boy" .)
