Show affection for feminine vehicle? (6)
I believe the answer is:
caress
'show affection' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'feminine vehicle?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'vehicle?' could be 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle) and 'car' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ess' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caress that I've seen before include "Scares into handle lovingly" , "Gentle loving touch" , "Expression of affection" , "Stroke lovingly" , "pet" .)
