Rosie Lee held by estate agent (3)
I believe the answer is:
tea
'rosie lee' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'held by estate agent' is the wordplay.
'held by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TEA' can be found hidden inside 'estate agent'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tea that I've seen before include "Afternoon meal (3)" , "The cup that cheers but not inebriates" , "Eg, gunpowder, pekoe" , "Infused leaves" , "Beverage; meal" .)
