Group taking a nap at mid-morning? (5)
I believe the answer is:
dozen
'group' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'a nap at mid-morning?' is the wordplay.
'a nap' becomes 'doze' (I've seen this before).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mid' indicates the central letters.
The central letter of 'morning' is 'n'.
'doze'+'n'='DOZEN'
'taking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dozen that I've seen before include "A small number" , "Twelfth of a gross" , "XII" , "Quantity of e.g. eggs" , "Twelve (or thirteen for a baker?)" .)
