Drink I knocked over that half-cut Libran got in (6)
I believe the answer is:
orange
'drink' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'i knocked over that half-cut libran got in' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'ego' ('I' in Latin).
'knocked over' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'that half cut' means to take half the letters.
'got in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ego' written backwards gives 'oge'.
'libran' halved is 'ran'.
'oge' going around 'ran' is 'ORANGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Round fruit (6)" , "divided internally, naturally" , "Kind of sauce" , "Fruit; pigment" , "Colour of Northern Ireland unionism" .)
