Vessel caught by reef, lower potentially (9)
I believe the answer is:
flowerpot
'vessel' 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?
'caught by reef lower potentially' is the wordplay.
'caught by' indicates a hidden word.
'FLOWERPOT' can be found hidden inside 'reef lower potentially'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flowerpot that I've seen before include "Plant container" , "aid for gardeners" , "spotted on window-sill" , "Geranium holder?" , "Place for growing" .)
