In their wages, Poles get a flower? (5)
I believe the answer is:
pansy
'a flower?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in their wages poles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'poles' could be 'ns' (north and south poles) and 'ns' is found in the answer.
'wages' could be 'pay' (I've seen this before) and 'pay' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pansy that I've seen before include "Rich-coloured flower with summer and winter varieties" , "Cultivated viola" , "Rich-coloured viola" , "Garden plant with large flowers of various colours" , "Common garden flower" .)
