Plant to restrain group of self-supporting dealers
I believe the answer is:
daisy chain
'plant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'restrain group of self-supporting dealers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'group' could be 'chain' (chain is a kind of group) and 'chain' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'daisy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for daisy chain that I've seen before include "String of flowers" , "Connect IT devices" , "Simple garland" , "simple floral arrangement" .)
