Science grad in A&E suffers drained sore (7)
I believe the answer is:
abscess
'sore' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'science grad in ae suffers drained' is the wordplay.
'science grad' becomes 'bsc' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'drained' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'suffers' with its centre taken out is 'ss'.
'bsc' placed into 'ae' is 'absce'.
'absce'+'ss'='ABSCESS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abscess that I've seen before include "Inflamed infected area" , "Infection in cavity of the body" , "inflammation" , "Collection of puss formed in the body" , "Swollen area in tissue" .)
