This might be a double definition.

'healthy snack' is the first 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?

'hand?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for banana that I've seen before include "Elongated edible fruit" , "Fruit that comes in a bunch" , "Long curved fruit" , "Fruit led by prohibition" , "Fruity type" .)
