The result of surgeons striking, on reflection: a stroke (5)
I believe the answer is:
spoon
'stroke' is the definition.
(I know that spoon is a kind of stroke)
'the result of surgeons striking on reflection a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spoon that I've seen before include "Piece of cutlery" , "Bowl with handle" , "Wood formerly" , "fellow eloper during high jump event" , "One with bowl" .)
