Do remnants serve as ornamentation? (10)
I believe the answer is:
adornments
'as ornamentation?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'do remnants serve' is the wordplay.
'serve' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'served' mean this).
'do'+'remnants'='doremnants'
'doremnants' with letters rearranged gives 'ADORNMENTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for adornments that I've seen is " Embellishments".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
