Bath accessory smuggled in through a foolhardy insurgent (6)
I believe the answer is:
loofah
'bath accessory smuggled in' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'through a foolhardy insurgent' is the wordplay.
'LOOFAH' is hidden backwards within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loofah that I've seen before include "Halo of the washing sponge?" , "Vegetable bath sponge" , "Dried part of plant used as a bath sponge" , "Dried pod commonly used as bathroom sponge" , "Fibre used as a back-scrub" .)
