Weed report of a magnificent big cat (9)
I believe the answer is:
dandelion
'weed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'report of a magnificent big cat' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dandelion that I've seen before include "Common yellow-flowered weed" , "Yellow weed" , "Flower with a "clock"" , "I nod, laden with yellow flower" , "One blooming" .)
