Street setting for a tiny lolly (5)
I believe the answer is:
sweet
'lolly' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'street setting for a tiny' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'setting for' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are set inside others).
'a tiny' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this in another clue).
'st' going around 'wee' is 'SWEET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweet that I've seen before include "Toffee, e.g." , "Ewes cycle it (anag) -- herb (myrrh)" , "darling" , "Candy item" , "Gentle" .)
