What might be picked from behind mostly (5)
I believe the answer is:
aster
'what might be picked' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'behind mostly' is the wordplay.
'behind' becomes 'astern' (at the back or behind of a ship).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'astern' with its final letter taken away is 'ASTER'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aster that I've seen before include "bloomer" , "Stare at pretty flower" , "Stare oddly at the flower" , "Large daisy" , "Flower of the daisy family - rates (anag)" .)
