Fancy putting limit on cereal crop (7)
I believe the answer is:
caprice
'fancy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'limit on cereal crop' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'limit' could be 'cap' (capping is a kind of limiting) and 'cap' is found in the answer.
'cereal' could be 'rice' (rice is a kind of cereal) and 'rice' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'putting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caprice that I've seen before include "A whim, or piece of music in lively fanciful style" , "Sudden whim" , "Sudden impulse" , "A whim or piece of fancy" , "Sudden change of mind" .)
