Kind of spoon to slop tea all over the place! (7)
I believe the answer is:
apostle
'kind of spoon' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'slop tea all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates anagramming the letters.
'slop'+'tea'='sloptea'
'sloptea' with letters rearranged gives 'APOSTLE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "E.g. St Paul" , "Evangelist, proponent" , "Peter, perhaps" , "Follower of Christ" , "Champion - one of twelve" .)
