Gossip given pear that’s been pureed (9)
I believe the answer is:
grapevine
'gossip' is the definition.
(grapevine is a kind of gossip)
'given pear that's been pureed' is the wordplay.
'given pear' anagrams to 'GRAPEVINE'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grapevine that I've seen before include "where fruit is grown" , "Supposed medium for spreading news" , "Bush telegraph" , "fruit producer" , "Fruit-bearing plant - rumour mill" .)
