Jointly take bananas to lost property? (4-2-4)
I believe the answer is:
hand-in-hand
'jointly' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'bananas to lost property?' is the wordplay.
'bananas' becomes 'hand' (I've seen this before).
'to lost property?' becomes 'inhand' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hand'+'inhand'='HAND-IN-HAND'
'take' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hand-in-hand that I've seen is " Jointly".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
