Reviews pretentious brief broadcast from one little plant (6)
I believe the answer is:
bonsai
'one little plant' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'reviews pretentious brief broadcast' is the wordplay.
'reviews' says the letters should be written backwards (view the letters another way).
'pretentious' becomes 'snob' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'brief' means to remove the last letter.
'broadcast' becomes 'air' ('air' can be a synonym of 'broadcast').
'snob' reversed gives 'bons'.
'air' with its final letter removed is 'ai'.
'bons'+'ai'='BONSAI'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bonsai that I've seen before include "Dwarf trees and shrubs" , "Little Japanese growth" , "Japanese craft of growing miniature trees" , "Japanese art of growing dwarf trees" , "Japanese plant or tree grown in miniature form" .)
