Expert on all sorts of blooming things (8)
I believe the answer is:
botanist
This clue could be a double definition.
'expert on all sorts' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'blooming things' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for botanist that I've seen before include "Banks" , "Expert in the scientific study of plants" , "To sit ban out for expert in study of plants" , "Plant studier" , "Expert on plant life" .)
