Consequence of iron and carbon found in baby salamander (6)
I believe the answer is:
effect
'consequence' is the definition.
('effect' can be a synonym of 'consequence')
'iron and carbon found in baby salamander' is the wordplay.
'iron' becomes 'fe' ('Fe' can be a synonym of 'iron').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'carbon' becomes 'c' ('C' can be a synonym of 'carbon').
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'baby salamander' becomes 'eft' (eft is a kind of salamander. I am not sure about the 'baby' bit.**).
'fe'+'c'='fec'
'fec' put inside 'eft' is 'EFFECT'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for effect that I've seen before include "Result or outcome" , "Change produced by impact or other cause" , "Consequential change; state of becoming operative" , "It follows cause" , "It always has a cause" .)
