Graduate gives Granny healthy snack (6)
I believe the answer is:
banana
'healthy snack' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'graduate gives granny' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'graduate' could be 'ba' (someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree) and 'ba' is located in the answer.
'granny' could be 'nana' (both can mean a grandmother) and 'nana' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for banana that I've seen before include "Curved fruit (in a split dessert?)" , "Long curved fruit" , "that may be unzipped" , "Comedians slip on its skin" , "One out of hand" .)
