Saucy thing to cut (5)
I believe the answer is:
caper
This could be a double definition.
'saucy thing' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'cut' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caper that I've seen before include "Jump about playfully" , "High-spirited escapade" , "prickly shrub" , "Antic, prank" , "Dance; pickled bud" .)
