Leaps around with a floral contribution (5)
I believe the answer is:
sepal
'a floral contribution' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'leaps around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leaps' with letters rearranged gives 'SEPAL'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sepal that I've seen before include "Calyx segment" , "Enclosing part of flower" , "Green part that forms a flower's calyx" , "flowery bit" , "Lapse about part of a flower" .)
