Paper for wrapping sugar? (5)
I believe the answer is:
argus
'paper' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'wrapping sugar?' is the wordplay.
'sugar' anagrams to 'ARGUS'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for argus that I've seen before include "Small butterfly" , "Many-eyed mythical monster" , "Many-eyed giant" , "Pheasant, butterfly, a hundred-eyed monster" , "Type of butterfly" .)
