Article on a latent imbalance in the womb (9)
I believe the answer is:
antenatal
'latent imbalance in the womb' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'article on a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'article' could be 'an' (indefinite article) and 'an' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 'at' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'at' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antenatal that I've seen before include "Prior to birth" , "prior to delivery" , "Preceding birth" , "Check before delivery" , "before new one arrives" .)
