Resilient, like May, could one say? (7)
I believe the answer is:
springy
This clue is a double definition.
'resilient' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'like may could one say?' is the second definition.
(May is part of spring)
(Other definitions for springy that I've seen before include "jumpy" , "With bounce" , "Elastic, resilient" .)
