Vegetable the greengrocer sells dozens of? (8)
I believe the answer is:
eggplant
'vegetable' is the definition.
(I know that eggplant is a type of vegetable)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggplant that I've seen before include "Another word for aubergine" , "What goes into moussaka" , "US name for aubergine" , "It's also called aubergine" , "Its fruit is aubergine" .)
