Possible battle with fussy kid over veg at duke’s grassland? (10)
I believe the answer is:
greensward
'possible battle with fussy kid' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'veg at duke's grassland?' is the wordplay.
'veg' becomes 'greens' (greens is a kind of vegetable).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'duke's grassland?' becomes 'ward' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'greens'+'ward'='GREENSWARD'
'over' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greensward that I've seen before include "mostly turf" , "Grass covered ground" , "Lawn" .)
