Thereafter, remove father from genealogical chart (4)
I believe the answer is:
tree
This clue might be a double definition.
'thereafter remove' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'father from genealogical chart' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tree that I've seen before include "Sequoia, for example" , "Large shrub; family line" , "Plane or pine, for example?" , "Oak, for example" , "Plane, e.g." .)
