Miniature toy stereotypically served as aphrodisiac (6)
I believe the answer is:
oyster
'as aphrodisiac' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'miniature toy stereotypically' is the wordplay.
'OYSTER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'served' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oyster that I've seen before include "Marine bivalve" , "Tasty bivalve, may carry pearl" , "Pearl-yielding shellfish" , "one got out of bed?" , "Greyish pink" .)
