Fruit on board for Britney? (6)
I believe the answer is:
spears
'britney?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fruit on board for' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'pears' (I've seen this before).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'board for' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pears' put after 's' is 'SPEARS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spears that I've seen before include "Pointed poles as weapons" , "Javelins" , "Bits of green veg" , "Some broccoli" , "Pointed stems of asparagus" .)
