Special label on succulent root the Parisian gives insect (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
stag beetle
'insect' is the definition.
(stag beetle is a kind of insect)
'special label on succulent root the parisian' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'S' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'label' becomes 'tag' (tag is a kind of label).
'on succulent root' becomes 'beet' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the parisian' becomes 'le' (definite article in French).
's'+'tag'+'beet'+'le'='STAG-BEETLE'
'gives' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stag beetle that I've seen before include "Six-footer" , "something some folk find creepy" , "Insect with antler-like jaws" , "Large insect with branched mandibles" , "Horny little creature" .)
