In small volume (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
half-pint
'in small' is the definition.
'half pint' can be an answer for 'small' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'in' bit.
'volume' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'volume' could be 'pint' and 'pint' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'half' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
