Stand pruning plant (4)
I believe the answer is:
dais
This could be a double definition.
'stand' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pruning plant' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dais that I've seen before include "device to give some an uplift at conference?" , "Platform, rostrum" , "stands on this?" , "stand" , "support for speaker" .)
