Member fumed after stripped of a gram, say? (6)
I believe the answer is:
legume
'a gram say?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'member fumed after stripped' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'member' could be 'leg' (member can mean a limb) and 'leg' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legume that I've seen before include "Plant that bears its seeds in a pod" , "A vegetable for e.g. mule" , "mangetout for instance" , "Glue me (anag) - climbing bean or pea plant" , "A plant of the kind that bears its seeds in pods" .)
