Sharp part of a basset horn? (5)
I believe the answer is:
thorn
'sharp part' is the definition.
'thorn' can be an answer for 'part' (thorn is a kind of part). I am not sure about the 'sharp' bit.
'a basset horn?' is the wordplay.
'THORN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thorn that I've seen before include "A vegetable spike" , "sharp object" , "Cause of grief" , "Feature of rose tree" , "problematic point" .)
