Fantastic medical support includes recreational space (9)
I believe the answer is:
sparkling
'fantastic medical' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'support includes recreational space' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'sling' (sling is a type of support for member (ie an arm)).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'recreational space' becomes 'park' (I have seen 'Public space ' mean 'park' so perhaps 'space' could also mean 'park'. I am not sure about the 'recreational' bit.).
'sling' enclosing 'park' is 'SPARKLING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sparkling that I've seen before include "like champagne" , "Effervescent" , "Shining with brilliant points of light" , "Not still - like diamonds" , "Fizzy" .)
