Hesitation about eating one egg or several of them? (3)
I believe the answer is:
roe
'several of them?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'hesitation about eating one egg' is the wordplay.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound used when hesitating).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'one egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'er' in reverse letter order is 're'.
're' enclosing 'o' is 'ROE'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roe that I've seen before include "shy animal" , "Part of fish, sounds like go through water" , "Caviar" , "Food from fish" , "Mass of fish's eggs" .)
