Man in vehicle by court primarily delivering building material? (9)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cedarwood
'material?' is the definition.
(cedarwood is a kind of material)
'man in vehicle by court primarily delivering' is the wordplay.
'man in vehicle' becomes 'cedar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'delivering' is 'd'.
'cedar'+'woo'+'d'='CEDARWOOD'
'building' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cedarwood that I've seen before include "'Sandalwood, ____ and 4 down 18 19' (Masefield)" , "Hard, sweet-smelling timber" , "it comes out of a tree" , "furniture maker" .)
