‘Eggs Placed Over Paving' gains show prize (7)
I believe the answer is:
rosette
'prize' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'eggs placed over paving gains' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'placed' could be 'set' (synonyms) and 'set' is present in the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rte' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'show' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rosette that I've seen before include "Ribbon prize or badge" , "Political supporter's ribbon" , "Ribbon decoration" , "Type of award" , "Prize adornment" .)
