Philosopher that’s brought home successfully (5)
I believe the answer is:
bacon
This clue might be a double definition.
'philosopher' is the first definition.
(Francis Bacon)
'brought home successfully' is the second definition.
I know that 'brought home' relates to this answer.
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bacon that I've seen before include "early scientist" , "Artist - meat" , "Shakespeare's ghost, some say" , "Francis or Roger?" , "Author" .)
