Some legumes in the mouth, aptly enough (3)
I believe the answer is:
gum
'mouth aptly enough' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'some legumes in' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'GUM' can be found hidden inside 'legumes in'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gum that I've seen before include "Sticky stuff - tree" , "Glue; jelly-like sweet" , "Eg, a eucalyptus" , "Leaving body" , "Stuff to chew" .)
