Prays for fine distribution (5)
I believe the answer is:
spray
'fine distribution' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'prays' is the wordplay.
'prays' anagrams to 'SPRAY'.
However, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spray that I've seen before include "jet?" , "small bouquet of flowers" , "Flower arrangement" , "Liquid from an aerosol" , "Squirt water" .)
