Resident in Bangor seeing moorland growth (5)
I believe the answer is:
gorse
'moorland growth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'resident in bangor seeing' is the wordplay.
'resident' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'resident of' mean this).
'GORSE' can be found hidden inside 'in bangor seeing'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gorse that I've seen before include "Wild shrub with yellow flowers and sharp thorns, common on hillsides" , "Ogres (anag.)" , "Spiky shrub" , "Moorland shrub" , "Prickly heath shrub" .)
