It may well by sticking (7)
I believe the answer is:
plaster
'it may well by sticking' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for plaster that I've seen before include "Cover for cut" , "Material applied to walls" , "One to cover wall, wound" , "Smooth covering for walls and ceilings" , "Adhesive material" .)
