Wrap is sexy, shortened at both ends (4)
I believe the answer is:
roti
'wrap' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roti that I've seen before include "Indian bread (not naan)" , "Indian flatbread" , "Indian flat round bread" , "spicy sandwich" , "Indian bread cooked on a griddle" .)
