Points out fruit that’s the best (8)
I believe the answer is:
flagship
'the best' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'points out fruit' is the wordplay.
'points out' becomes 'flags' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fruit' becomes 'hip' (I have seen 'Fruit of rose ' mean 'hip' so perhaps 'fruit' could also mean 'hip').
'flags'+'hip'='FLAGSHIP'
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flagship that I've seen before include "Pre-eminent product" , "leading product" , "Pre-eminent item" , "leader of fleet" , "Something of the greatest importance (to an admiral?)" .)
