Patron saint of farmers? (5)
I believe the answer is:
giles
This clue might be a double definition.
'patron' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'saint of farmers?' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for giles that I've seen before include "Carl _____, newspaper cartoonist" , "Boy's name" , "Sir - Gilbert Scott, English architect" , "-- Coren; -- Brandreth" , "Farmer --- of Ham (Tolkien)" .)
