Characters warped in occult eye cell that protects (9)
I believe the answer is:
leucocyte
'cell that protects' is the definition.
'leucocyte' can be an answer for 'cell' (leucocyte is a kind of cell). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.
'characters warped in occult eye' is the wordplay.
'occult eye' can be anagrammed to 'LEUCOCYTE'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for leucocyte that I've seen is " cell".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
