Aid to a certain diagnosis -- inaction seems out of order (13)
I believe the answer is:
amniocentesis
'aid to a certain diagnosis' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'inaction seems out of order' is the wordplay.
'out of order' indicates an anagram.
'inaction'+'seems'='inactionseems'
'inactionseems' is an anagram of 'AMNIOCENTESIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amniocentesis that I've seen before include "Technique for screening unborn children" , "test" .)
