Clots smashed mobile (6)
I believe the answer is:
emboli
'clots' is the definition.
(embolus is a kind of clot)
'smashed mobile' is the wordplay.
'smashed' is an anagram indicator.
'mobile' anagrammed gives 'EMBOLI'.
(Another definition for emboli that I've seen is " Blood clots or air bubbles which cause arterial blockages".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
