Setter related to Serpent? (5)
I believe the answer is:
aspic
'setter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'related to serpent?' is the wordplay.
'related' becomes 'ic' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'serpent?' becomes 'asp' (asp is a kind of serpent).
'ic' after 'asp' is 'ASPIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspic that I've seen before include "Savoury jelly for coating meat, eggs etc" , "Jelly based on fish or meat stock" , "Ending of Marlowe's thriller" , "Savoury relish" , "Edible jelly" .)
