Provide food, support and help with moving things? (11)
I believe the answer is:
caterpillar
'help with moving things?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'provide food support' is the wordplay.
'provide food' becomes 'cater' (I've seen this in another clue).
'support' becomes 'pillar' (pillar is a kind of support).
'cater'+'pillar'='CATERPILLAR'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caterpillar that I've seen before include "Track" , "Moth/ butterfly larva" , "looper, perhaps" , "He made do with a mushroom" , "Butterfly grub" .)
