Neighbouring houses cold, time for something sweet (6)
I believe the answer is:
nectar
'something sweet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'neighbouring houses cold time' is the wordplay.
'neighbouring' becomes 'near' ('near' can be similar in meaning to 'neighbouring').
'houses' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'time' becomes 't'.
'c'+'t'='ct'
'near' going around 'ct' is 'NECTAR'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nectar that I've seen before include "Flower secretion" , "Heavenly brew" , "Sweet liquid secretion to attract pollinators" , "Sweet, delicious, drink" , "Drink of the gods in Greek myth" .)
