Tool for the kitchen shrub (11)
I believe the answer is:
bottlebrush
'tool for' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'kitchen shrub' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'shrub' is 'brush' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bottle' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bottlebrush that I've seen is " mare's-tail".)
