Gum drop or lollipop (5)
I believe the answer is:
candy
'gum drop or lollipop' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for candy that I've seen before include "American sweets" , "American confectionary" , "Sweet (US)" , "Girl's name (diminutive)" , "Sugary sweet" .)
