A month, endless ice and free of germs (7)
I believe the answer is:
aseptic
'free of germs' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a month endless ice' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'sept' (Sept is an example).
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'ice' with its last letter removed is 'ic'.
'a'+'sept'+'ic'='ASEPTIC'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aseptic that I've seen before include "Free from bacteria, surically clean" , "avoiding germs" , "Spicate (anag.)" , "Germ-free" , "Free from bacteria, surgically clean" .)
