Plant gets a butterfly kiss (6)
I believe the answer is:
caress
'butterfly kiss' is the definition.
'caress' can be an answer for 'kiss' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'butterfly' bit.
'plant gets a' is the wordplay.
'plant' becomes 'cress plant' (cress is a kind of plant).
'gets' means one lot of letters goes inside another (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'cress' enclosing 'a' is 'CARESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caress that I've seen before include "Affectionate stroke" , "Stroke lightly in a loving manner" , "Scares into handle lovingly" , "Gentle stroke" , "Stroke fondly" .)
