Flag Iraqis ignoring a question (4)
I believe the answer is:
iris
'flag' is the definition.
(type of iris flower)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Plant - part of the eye" , "Ms Murdoch" , "Flag - part of eye" , "Flag - surrounding pupil" , "Fleur-de-lys" .)
