Sticky sort of sugar? (4)
I believe the answer is:
cane
'sort of sugar?' is the definition.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cane that I've seen before include "Raspberry stem; beat" , "Slender stem of bamboo etc" , "Beat - bamboo - stick" , "e.g. Bamboo stem" , "Kind of sugar?" .)
