Parasite found in contents of Samos kebab (6)
I believe the answer is:
amoeba
'parasite' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'contents of samos kebab' is the wordplay.
'contents of' says to take the centre (the letters on the inside of the word).
'kebab' becomes 'eba' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The central letters of 'samos' are 'amo'.
'amo'+'eba'='AMOEBA'
'found in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amoeba that I've seen before include "Simple creature" , "parasitic type" , "Microscopic life form" , "Protozoon" , "Unicellular form" .)
