Absorbing material from Time Magazine (6)
I believe the answer is:
tissue
'absorbing material' is the definition.
'tissue' can be an answer for 'material' (tissue is a kind of material). I am not sure about the 'absorbing' bit.
'time magazine' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'magazine' becomes 'issue' (I've seen this in another clue).
't'+'issue'='TISSUE'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tissue that I've seen before include "Disposable hankie" , "Cells sharing a function" , "Flimsy paper" , "Soft thin paper in layers" , "Thin paper; concoction (of lies)" .)
