Ross

dropper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dispenser' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'fall for every' is the wordplay.
'fall' becomes 'drop' (synonyms).
'for every' becomes 'per' ('per' means 'for each' or 'for every').
'drop'+'per'='DROPPER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dropper that I've seen before include "Tube for applying a small amount of liquid" , "something in the dispensary" , "Dispense with this" , "One can't catch" , "Medicinal device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
