Top removed from First Lady's vehicle (5)
I believe the answer is:
lotus
'top' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lotus that I've seen before include "Large water lily" , "In Greek mythology, a fruit which induces forgetfulness" , "Plant promoting forgetfulness" , "Kind of cross-legged position for meditation" , "Mythological fruit - lily" .)
