Jack (one of two) abandoned a shady nook (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
left bower
'jack one of two' is the definition.
'left bower' can be an answer for 'jack' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'one of two' bit.
'abandoned a shady nook' is the wordplay.
'abandoned' becomes 'left' (leave can mean to abandon).
'a shady nook' becomes 'bower' (I've seen this in another clue).
'left'+'bower'='LEFT BOWER'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
