Arrest nabbing mob showing bottle? (8)
I believe the answer is:
screwtop
'bottle?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'arrest nabbing mob showing' is the wordplay.
'arrest' becomes 'stop' (synonyms).
'nabbing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mob showing' becomes 'crew' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'stop' enclosing 'crew' is 'SCREWTOP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for screwtop that I've seen before include "kind of bottle" , "cap or lid" , "Describing a type of bottle" , "that closes jar" , "one goes on the bottle" .)
