It can be blown from a pipe (6)
I believe the answer is:
bubble
'pipe' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bubble that I've seen before include "Boil" , "Globule full of gas" , "Blister" , "Hollow globule of gas" , "Thin ball of liquid enclosing air or gas" .)
