One of a handy bunch? (6)
I believe the answer is:
banana
'handy bunch?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'one of a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'an' is found in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ba' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for banana that I've seen before include "Comedians slip on its skin" , "Fruit with soft, sweet flesh" , "6 Yellow fruit" , "Curved yellow fruit" , "Plantain-like fruit" .)
