Is it said to give an inviting flavour? (5)
I believe the answer is:
cumin
'flavour?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cumin that I've seen before include "Mediterranean plant with aromatic seeds" , "Curry powder ingredient" , "relief from wind" , "Aromatic (curry) spice" , "Spice seeds" .)
