Bubbling’s dodgy in aortae (8)
I believe the answer is:
aeration
'bubbling's dodgy in aortae' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'dodgy in aortae' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' is an anagram indicator (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'in'+'aortae'='inaortae'
'inaortae' anagrammed gives 'AERATION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aeration that I've seen before include "The process of adding carbon dioxide to liquid under pressure" , "Mixing with air/gas" .)
