Against hybrid lichee as jam ingredient? (7)
I believe the answer is:
vehicle
'jam ingredient?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'against hybrid lichee' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'v' (abbreviation for 'versus').
'hybrid' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'lichee' anagrammed gives 'ehicle'.
'v'+'ehicle'='VEHICLE'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vehicle that I've seen before include "wheels" , "Lorry perhaps" , "Mode of transport" , "Conveyance for transport" , "Means of conveyance" .)
