Swede for one needing money initially in current account (8)
I believe the answer is:
brassica
'swede for one' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'money initially in current account' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'brass' (I've seen this before).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'in current account' is 'ica'.
'brass'+'ica'='BRASSICA'
'needing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brassica that I've seen before include "Plant genus including many vegetables" , "Vegetable" , "Cabbage, broccoli, etc." , "Turnip and cabbage genus" , "Cabbages, cauliflowers etc" .)
