For prams, they need the right electric current (5)
I believe the answer is:
ramps
'for prams they need' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'right electric current' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'electric current' becomes 'amps' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'electric' bit.).
'r'+'amps'='RAMPS'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ramps that I've seen before include "Slopes to calm traffic" , "Gradients" , "Slopings passages" , "Sloping passages" , "Small road ridges for prams" .)
