Large ripe damson that man has picked (8)
I believe the answer is:
handsome
'large' is the definition.
(eg as in a handsome sum of money)
'ripe damson that man has picked' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'damson' is 'andsom' which is present in the answer.
'man' could be 'he' (pronoun for a man) and 'he' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for handsome that I've seen before include "Easy on the eye" , "Pleasing in appearance" , "Striking" , "Good-looking, as a male say" , "Well-proportioned" .)
