Is it blooming high? (6)
I believe the answer is:
alpine
'high?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alpine that I've seen before include "Relating to high mountains" , "from Germany, Austria etc" , "Relating to a European mountain range" , "Native growing up in mountainous area" , "seen in rocky state?" .)
