Clear solution we later amended, I am to put in (9)
I believe the answer is:
limewater
'clear solution' is the definition.
'limewater' can be an answer for 'solution' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'clear' bit.
'we later amended i am to put in' is the wordplay.
'amended' indicates an anagram.
'i am' becomes 'I'm'.
'to put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'we'+'later'='welater'
'welater' is an anagram of 'lewater'.
'lewater' enclosing 'im' is 'LIMEWATER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for limewater that I've seen is " solution".)
