Milk producer gives us energy another way (8)
I believe the answer is:
guernsey
'milk producer' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'us energy another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates anagramming the letters.
'us'+'energy'='usenergy'
'usenergy' with letters rearranged gives 'GUERNSEY'.
'gives' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for guernsey that I've seen before include "Channel isle" , "Lyric poem" , "Second-largest Channel Island" , "Lower" , "Breed of cattle and a Channel Island" .)
