Festive decoration, quite neglected by wife (5)
I believe the answer is:
holly
This might be a double definition.
'festive decoration' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'quite neglected by wife' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for holly that I've seen before include "Prickly-leaved shrub" , "Seasonal shrub" , "Prickly Christmas decoration" , "Evergreen used in wreaths" , "Prickly evergreen" .)
