Tree providing a law breaker with something to eat (6)
I believe the answer is:
walnut
'tree' is the definition.
(walnut is a kind of tree)
'a law breaker with something to eat' is the wordplay.
'a law breaker' becomes 'wal' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'something to eat' becomes 'nut' (type of food).
'wal'+'nut'='WALNUT'
'providing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for walnut that I've seen before include "Fruit with a wrinkled shell" , "Tree, valuable ornamental wood" , "Valuable furniture wood" , "Large, wrinkled edible seed" , "Tree providing decorative wood" .)
