Crown of laurel? (7)
I believe the answer is:
treetop
'crown of laurel?' is the definition.
'treetop' can be an answer for 'crown' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'of laurel?' bit.
'crown of laurel?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'crown' could be 'top' (synonyms) and 'top' is present in the answer.
'laurel?' could be 'tree' (laurel is a kind of tree) and 'tree' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treetop that I've seen before include "Crown; rock-a-bye baby here" , "To Peter (anag)" , "High point of a plane, for example" , "` `Rockaby baby on a .......' '" , "Highest branch location" .)
