Litter found after a match? (8)
I believe the answer is:
confetti
'litter' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for confetti that I've seen before include "Small pieces of coloured paper" , "Celebratory paper at wedding" , "Pieces of coloured paper thrown at weddings" , "Scraps of coloured paper thrown in celebration" , "Bits thrown over a newly married couple" .)
