Main parts took no odd orange dye (6)
I believe the answer is:
anatto
'dye' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for anatto that I've seen is " Orange colouring".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
