Fat deposit a tricky matter (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
adipose tissue
'fat' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'deposit a tricky matter' is the wordplay.
'tricky' is an anagram indicator.
'matter' becomes 'issue' (synonyms).
'deposit'+'a'='deposita'
'deposita' with letters rearranged gives 'adiposet'.
'adiposet'+'issue'='ADIPOSE TISSUE'
(Another definition for adipose tissue that I've seen is " Cells that store fat".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
