Feathery stuff from a plant, lots the wind scattered (11)
I believe the answer is:
thistledown
'feathery stuff from a plant' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'lots the wind scattered' is the wordplay.
'scattered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lots'+'the'+'wind'='lotsthewind'
'lotsthewind' anagrammed gives 'THISTLEDOWN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thistledown that I've seen before include "Airborne seeds" , "Fluff on which some seeds fly" , "A mass of feathery seeds" , "parachutes" , "Light fluff of some seeds" .)
