File blunder in Times article on Bush? (9)
I believe the answer is:
raspberry
'article on bush?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'file blunder in times' is the wordplay.
'file' becomes 'rasp' (rasp is a kind of file).
'blunder' becomes 'err' (to err is to make a mistake or blunder).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'times' becomes 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by').
'err' put into 'by' is 'berry'.
'rasp'+'berry'='RASPBERRY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raspberry that I've seen before include "Derisive sound" , "Bars Perry from having the fruit" , "Fruit; rude sound" , "Vulgar sound like small red fruit" , "It expresses one's disapproval" .)
