Nice bird left for husband (8)
I believe the answer is:
pleasant
'nice' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'bird left for husband' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bird' could be 'ant' (ant bird is a kind of bird) and 'ant' is found in the answer.
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'peas' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pleasant that I've seen before include "Enjoyable, nice" , "Lovely" , "Nice, satisfying" , "Enjoyable, agreeable" , "Affable, good-humoured" .)
