Scent old motor manufacturer has lifted bonnet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
orris
This could be a double definition.
'scent old motor manufacturer' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'lifted bonnet?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'has' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orris that I've seen before include "Preparation" , "Fragrant rootstock" , "Iris root in perfumery" , "perfumery ingredient" , "Plant rhizome used in perfumery" .)
