Remove root from country vegetable (5)
I believe the answer is:
swede
This could be a double definition.
'remove root' is the first definition.
'swede' can be an answer for 'root' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'remove' bit.
'country vegetable' is the second definition.
'swede' can be an answer for 'vegetable' (swede is a kind of vegetable). I'm not sure about the 'country' bit.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swede that I've seen before include "Root vegetable - European" , "Scandinavian - vegetable" , "Sort of turnip - one from Scandinavia?" , "A turnip, or a Scandinavian" , "Northern European" .)
