Portion of sorbet or an antiquated mince pie? (3)
I believe the answer is:
orb
'an antiquated mince pie?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'portion of sorbet or' is the wordplay.
'portion of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ORB' can be found hidden inside 'sorbet or'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orb that I've seen before include "Sovereign artefact" , "Ornamental globe" , "Ornamental sphere" , "Item of royal regalia" , "Heavenly body" .)
