Woods, in two senses, may be seen near one (5)
I believe the answer is:
green
This might be a double definition.
'woods in two senses' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'seen near one' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'may be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "The colour of immaturity" , "Naive; colour" , "Concerned with the environment in colourful way" , "Like lettuce" , "The colour of envy" .)
