More than one leguminous plant is doing badly (7)
I believe the answer is:
indigos
'more than one leguminous plant' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'is doing badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator (letters in the wrong order).
'is'+'doing'='isdoing'
'isdoing' is an anagram of 'INDIGOS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
