Bankruptcy strongly restricts growth (4)
I believe the answer is:
cyst
'growth' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bankruptcy strongly restricts' is the wordplay.
'CYST' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyst that I've seen before include "Subcutaneous sac" , "Small sac in body (that may form abnormal lump)" , "Sac in the body containing liquid secretion" , "Abnormal body cavity" , "pouch" .)
