Initially sweet peel (4)
I believe the answer is:
skin
This clue could be a double definition.
'initially sweet' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'peel' is the second definition.
(I know that peel can be written as skin)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skin that I've seen before include "External surface" , "Hide - flay" , "coat" , "Dermis" , "Remove the outer layer" .)
