Perhaps Zack Polanski about to probe data (5)
I believe the answer is:
green
'perhaps zack polanski' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'about to probe data' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'to probe' indicates putting letters inside (probe can mean to poke into).
'data' becomes 'gen' (I've seen this in other clues).
're' going into 'gen' is 'GREEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "Ecological" , "right environmentally" , ""Go" signal" , "part of the golf course" , "Environmentally-friendly" .)
