Concrete idols get shattered (5)
I believe the answer is:
solid
'concrete' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'idols get shattered' is the wordplay.
'idols' anagrams to 'SOLID'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for solid that I've seen before include "Three-dimensional shape, not hollow" , "Firm and stable" , "Of substance" , "Sound; substantial" , "thick" .)
