Embodiment in flower (11)
I believe the answer is:
incarnation
'embodiment' is the definition.
(I know that incarnation is a type of embodiment)
'in flower' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'flower' could be 'carnation' (carnation is a kind of flower) and 'carnation' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incarnation that I've seen before include "Living embodiment of, eg, a deity" , "Existence" , "Epitome" , "Personification of an abstract idea" .)
