Look around! By the grace of God, you might spot the plant (5)
I believe the answer is:
sedge
'you might spot the plant' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'look around by the grace of god' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'see'.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'by the grace of god' becomes 'dg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'see' placed around 'dg' is 'SEDGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedge that I've seen before include "Marsh-dweller" , "plant with triangular stems" , "Marsh grass" , "Plant like grass" , "Coarse, grasslike plant" .)
