I quit idly, wandering in fluid state (9)
I believe the answer is:
liquidity
'fluid state' is the definition.
(I know this)
'i quit idly wandering' is the wordplay.
'wandering' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'quit'+'idly'='iquitidly'
'iquitidly' is an anagram of 'LIQUIDITY'.
'in' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
