Potential parts for child star not including lead part? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ova
'potential parts for child' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'star not including lead part?' is the wordplay.
'star' becomes 'icon'.
'not' suggests deleting specific letters.
'including' becomes 'inc'.
'lead part?' becomes 'va' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'icon' with 'inc' removed is 'o'.
'o'+'va'='OVA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ova that I've seen before include "Multiple Latin eggs" , "Female gametes" , "Prerequisite for procreation" , "Fertility clinic stock!" , "Female reproductive cells" .)
