General left to tuck into a large slice of bread (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
all-round
'general' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'left to tuck into a large slice of bread' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'to tuck into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'slice of bread' becomes 'round' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'l'='al'
'l' going inside 'al' is 'all'.
'all'+'round'='ALL-ROUND'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for all-round that I've seen before include "General, not specialised in ability" , "Comprehensive" , "Not specialised, like versatile athlete" , "Having many abilities or uses" , "Including; complete" .)
