Energy from cheese endlessly served with egg? (4)
I believe the answer is:
brio
'energy' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'cheese endlessly served with egg?' is the wordplay.
'cheese' becomes 'brie' (Brie is an example).
'endlessly' means to remove the last letter.
'served with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'egg?' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'brie' with its last letter taken off is 'bri'.
'bri'+'o'='BRIO'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brio that I've seen before include "Spiritedness" , "'Con ..., musically with vigour (4)'" , "Enthusiasm" , "In music, con ..... means with dash and verve" , "Vivacity - spirit" .)
