Some people investigate European bread (3)
I believe the answer is:
lei
'some people investigate european bread' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'some people investigate european' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LEI' is hidden in the letters of 'people investigate european'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lei that I've seen before include "neck decoration" , "Flower arrangements" , "Bloomers on line" , "Hawaiian wreath" , "ready in Romania" .)
