Fodder caught by enthusiast (6)
I believe the answer is:
clover
'fodder' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'caught by enthusiast' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'enthusiast' becomes 'lover'.
'c'+'lover'='CLOVER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clover that I've seen before include "in which we can live luxuriously" , "Weed or forage plant (which it's good to be in)" , "Three-leaved wild plant" , "A four-leaved one is considered lucky" , "Meadow plant" .)
