It might be the top part of emblem on a design (8)
I believe the answer is:
lemonade
'it might be the top part' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'of emblem on a design' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'LEMONADE' can be found hidden inside 'emblem on a design'.
Can you help me to learn more?
