Get fruit from the tree and a makeshift bed? (9)
I believe the answer is:
shakedown
'makeshift bed?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'get fruit from the tree and a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shakedown that I've seen before include "extortion" , "Makeshift bed" , "improvised bed" , "Overcharge villainously" .)
