Clue for 'baker' slowing down solution? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
brake fluid
'down solution?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'clue for baker slowing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'baker' is 'brake' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'fluid' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for brake fluid that I've seen is " Liquid used in vehicle".)
