Discern odd remains after fire (7)
I believe the answer is:
cinders
'discern odd remains after fire' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'discern odd' is the wordplay.
'odd' is an anagram indicator.
'discern' anagrammed gives 'CINDERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cinders that I've seen before include "girl kept at home" , "Embers" , "Pieces of partly burned coal" .)
