South African currency brought in by an ardent spirit (6)
I believe the answer is:
brandy
'an ardent spirit' is the definition.
'brandy' can be an answer for 'spirit' (alcoholic spirit). I am not sure about the 'an ardent' bit.
'south african currency brought in by' is the wordplay.
'south african currency' becomes 'rand' (I've seen this before).
'brought in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rand' placed inside 'by' is 'BRANDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brandy that I've seen before include "Spirit from grapes" , "Strong drink distilled from wine" , "Grape wine spirit" , "Distilled wine or fermented fruit juice" , "Utensil or shop" .)
