Shoot a number not finishing exercise (7)
I believe the answer is:
tendril
'shoot' is the definition.
(a shoot from a plant)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tendril that I've seen before include "Climbing plant's gripper" , "Natural thread climbing plants produce to attach to a support" , "Feature of plant" , "Climbing plant's grasper" , "Climbing plant's attachment" .)
