Can such diseases be put right into a little bottle? (5)
I believe the answer is:
viral
'can such diseases be put right' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'a little bottle?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation for little) and 'l' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'vir' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for viral that I've seen before include "Like pathological agents" , "Caused by pathogenic agent" , "as an internet sensation" , "Like many diseases" , "Like some infections" .)
