Prunus worked on in the periods before big events (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
run-ups
'in the periods before big events' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'prunus worked' is the wordplay.
'worked' indicates an anagram.
'prunus' is an anagram of 'RUN-UPS'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for run-ups that I've seen is " Approaches".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
