It will do you no good to move mistakenly out of neutral (5)
I believe the answer is:
venom
'it will do you no good' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'move mistakenly out of neutral' is the wordplay.
'mistakenly' is an anagram indicator.
'out of' is an insertion indicator (some letters on the outside of others).
'neutral' becomes 'N' (abbreviation in electronics).
'move' is an anagram of 'veom'.
'veom' going around 'n' is 'VENOM'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for venom that I've seen before include "Virulent feeling" , "Snake poison" , "Poison - spite" , "Poison; malice" , "Bitter malice" .)
