An altogether singular basketful? (4)
I believe the answer is:
eggs
'an altogether' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'singular basketful?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'singular' could be 's' (abbreviation in grammar) and 's' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'egg' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggs that I've seen before include "Incites - farm produce" , "Bombs or mines (slang)" , "Ova" , "Don't teach your grandmother to suck --" , "Bacon and - -" .)
