I think you'd need to give the clue.

Hi, Elle,

I didn’t like this clue. I think you have to parse it as A in SPIRE (tapering object) + A, but the word order in the clue is only just acceptable for this.

A : tapering object secures , a , plant

Seems to be whats intended by the setter, so I
guess it works

'That' is elided in the surface.

'A [that] tapering object secures' + 'a' at the end
