I say, what a jolly rhyme (5)
I believe the answer is:
golly
This might be a double definition.
'i say' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are interjections.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a jolly rhyme' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'what' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for golly that I've seen is " Gosh!".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
