Doctor with adenoids coated metal (8)
I believe the answer is:
anodised
'coated metal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.
'doctor with adenoids' is the wordplay.
'adenoids' can be anagrammed to 'ANODISED'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for anodised that I've seen is " Coated (aluminium)".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
