One to start baking on the quiet? (3)
I believe the answer is:
'one to start baking on the quiet?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'one to start baking on the quiet?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'to start' says to take the initial letters.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the quiet?' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
The initial letter of 'baking' is 'b'.
'a' put after 'b' is 'ba'.
'ba'+'p'='BAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bap that I've seen before include "Flattish bread roll" , "Big roll" , "Large soft bread roll" , "A soft flat bread roll" , "Large flat round roll" .)
