Girl corrupted round adult clubs: item for the press? (6)
I believe the answer is:
garlic
'item for the press?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'girl corrupted round adult clubs' is the wordplay.
'corrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'girl' anagrammed gives 'grli'.
'grli' going around 'a' is 'garli'.
'garli'+'c'='GARLIC'
(Other definitions for garlic that I've seen before include "Plant used in cookery" , "Vegetable" , "Pungent bulbs" , "Pungent edible bulb" , "Pungent-tasting bulb" .)
