Sprays of flowers (5)
I believe the answer is:
roses
This might be a double definition.
'sprays' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'flowers' is the second definition.
(rose is a type of flower)
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roses that I've seen before include "the wars" , "Red, white war symbols" , "Blooms" , "These flowers in one's cheeks usually denote health" , "Popular flowers" .)
