Supply heater’s source of wood (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ash tree
'source of wood' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'supply heater's' is the wordplay.
'supply' indicates an anagram (in a supple way).
'heaters' anagrammed gives 'ASH TREE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ash tree that I've seen is " A big plant".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
