Handling an explosive has soldiers on team agitated (9)
I believe the answer is:
treatment
'handling' is the definition.
(I know that handling can be written as treatment)
'an explosive has soldiers on team agitated' is the wordplay.
'an explosive has soldiers' becomes 'trent' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'agitated' is an anagram indicator.
'team' is an anagram of 'eatm'.
'trent' going around 'eatm' is 'TREATMENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treatment that I've seen before include "Maintenance work" , "Care provided to improve a situation" , "Medical attention" , "prescribed drugs possibly" , "Management of something, illness say" .)
