Meet cider order, to an extent (9)
I believe the answer is:
decimetre
'an extent' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'meet cider order' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates anagramming the letters.
'meet'+'cider'='meetcider'
'meetcider' anagrammed gives 'DECIMETRE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for decimetre that I've seen is " length".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
