Money contributed by whip for coffee, for example? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
cash crop
'example?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'money contributed by whip for coffee' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'money' could be 'cash' (cash is a type of money) and 'cash' is found within the answer.
'whip' could be 'crop' (crop can mean a whip) and 'crop' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cash crop that I've seen before include "What the grower will sell" , "Profitable farm produce" , "Commercial farm product" , "Harvest for sale rather than consumption" , "Ready-saleable harvest" .)
