Food processor poses moral dilemma (5)
I believe the answer is:
molar
'food processor' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'poses moral dilemma' is the wordplay.
'moral' anagrams to 'MOLAR'.
But, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for molar that I've seen before include "Moral (anag.)" , "Dealing with masses" , "that could be capped" , "part of the daily grind" , "of ivory, perhaps" .)
