Bottled extract of turpentine (4)
I believe the answer is:
pent
'bottled' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'extract of turpentine' is the wordplay.
'extract of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'PENT' can be found hidden inside 'turpentine'.
(Other definitions for pent that I've seen before include "enclosed" , "Closely confined" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
