Against rigid price control for winter motoring (10)
I believe the answer is:
antifreeze
'winter motoring' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'against rigid price control' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'anti' (prefix meaning against).
'rigid price control' becomes 'freeze' (keeping prices the same).
'anti'+'freeze'='ANTIFREEZE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antifreeze that I've seen before include "Ethylene glycol" , "Winter radiator additive" , "Car radiator additive" , "Winter essential in engines" , "not needed for a long time in Hell?" .)
