Something for the breakfast table, for example -- good prize (6)
I believe the answer is:
eggcup
'something for the breakfast table' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'example good prize' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'prize' becomes 'cup' (cup is a kind of prize).
'eg'+'g'+'cup'='EGGCUP'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggcup that I've seen before include "Holder of an oval thing" , "what held a problem for curate?" , "Bearer of breakfast (with soldiers)" , "Breakfast placed here" .)
