Gym teacher out in the orchard
I believe the answer is:
peach tree
'the orchard' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'gym teacher out in' is the wordplay.
'gym' becomes 'pe'.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'teacher' with letters rearranged gives 'eachtre'.
'pe' placed around 'eachtre' is 'PEACH-TREE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
