Collateral for what's left in financial institution in Paris - and it's a comfort for the very young (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
security blanket
'it's a comfort for the very young' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'collateral for what's left in financial institution in paris' is the wordplay.
'collateral' becomes 'security' (I've seen this before).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'what's left in financial institution' becomes 'blank' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in paris' becomes 'et' (I've seen this in other clues).
'security'+'blank'+'et'='SECURITY BLANKET'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for security blanket that I've seen before include "It may help one sleep at night" , "information blackout" , "could relieve child's anxiety" , "child's favourite recourse" , "Embargo on information" .)
