Ornamental model of fruit found next to waste (8)
I believe the answer is:
figurine
'ornamental model' is the definition.
'figurine' can be an answer for 'model' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'ornamental' bit.
'fruit found next to waste' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'fig' (fig is a kind of fruit).
'found next to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'waste' becomes 'urine' (urine is a kind of waste).
'fig'+'urine'='FIGURINE'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for figurine that I've seen before include "Fine rug I change for a small carved body" , "Small piece of sculpture" , "moulded object" , "Small statue" , "Statuette" .)
