Sort of tribute that might be spoken in support of Florida (6)
I believe the answer is:
floral
'sort of tribute' is the definition.
'floral' can be an answer for 'tribute' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'sort of' bit.
'spoken in support of florida' is the wordplay.
'spoken' becomes 'oral' (similar in meaning).
'in support of' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters hold up others).
'florida' becomes 'fl' (abbreviation).
'oral' put after 'fl' is 'FLORAL'.
'that might be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for floral that I've seen before include "Decorated with blooms" , "Blooming" , "Relating to flowers" , "Like daffodils" , "Such tributes" .)
