Erroneously rinse in something gluey (5)
I believe the answer is:
resin
'something gluey' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'erroneously rinse' is the wordplay.
'erroneously' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rinse' anagrammed gives 'RESIN'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "Viscous substance in some trees" , "Exudation from fir trees" , "Sticky exudation from trees" , "Substance from tree-sap" , "Sticky tree exudation" .)
