banana

'for' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'food monkeys go ape?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'b' (B is an example) and 'b' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'anana' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'which' acts as a link.
