Hair-gel packed, unwrapped? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pomade
'hair-gel packed unwrapped?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'gel packed unwrapped?' is the wordplay.
'gel' becomes 'pom' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'packed' becomes 'laden' (I've seen this in another clue).
'unwrapped?' says to take the centre (I've seen 'unwrapping' mean this (letters which 'wrap' the word are removed)).
The middle of 'laden' is 'ade'.
'pom'+'ade'='POMADE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pomade that I've seen before include "capital application" , "Perfumed hair dressing" , "Hair lotion" , "Scented ointment for the scalp" , "preparation for locks" .)
