Mean ginger gent gets recycled present for his girlfriend (10,4)
I believe the answer is:
engagement ring
'recycled present for his girlfriend' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'mean ginger gent' is the wordplay.
'mean ginger gent' anagrams to 'ENGAGEMENT RING'.
But, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engagement ring that I've seen before include "Proof of commitment" , "Promise of future contract" , "shows commitment to union" , "Love band" , "Sign union's promised" .)
