Nut seen entering Cape Canaveral (5)
I believe the answer is:
pecan
'nut' is the definition.
(type of nut)
'entering cape canaveral' is the wordplay.
'entering' indicates a hidden word.
'PECAN' is hidden in the letters of 'cape canaveral'.
'seen' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "nut-tree" , "Pinkish-brown nut used in American pie" , "Edible nut like a smooth walnut" , "Smooth pinkish-brown nut, nice in pie" , "Something like a walnut" .)
