The worst cars from 1986? (5)
I believe the answer is:
dregs
'the worst' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dregs that I've seen before include "What's left" , "Sediment - rabble" , "Residue of drink" , "Dross" , "Lees - riffraff" .)
