Very small type found in shellfish (5)
I believe the answer is:
pearl
This could be a double definition.
'very small type' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'shellfish' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'found in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pearl that I've seen before include "Lustrous globule prized as a gem" , "Gem; size of type" , "Object of great worth" , "Oyster growth" , "Much loved and valued person" .)
