Fuss about English skin product? (7)
I believe the answer is:
leather
'skin product?' is the definition.
'leather' can be an answer for 'skin' (I have seen 'Tanned skin' mean 'leather' so perhaps 'skin' could also mean 'leather'). I am not sure about the 'product?' bit.
'fuss about english' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation as in OED) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leather that I've seen before include "Fabric" , "calf" , "Flog; hide" , "polish" , "durable material" .)
