Like that cowardly custard (6)
I believe the answer is:
yellow
This could be a double definition.
'like' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'cowardly custard' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'that' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yellow that I've seen before include "like a coward" , "Offensively sensational" , "Sort of hammer, jersey or belly" , "Lily-livered" , "like old paper" .)
