Name for a splash of tar (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
'name' is the definition.
'a splash of tar' is the wordplay.
'a splash of' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'splashed' mean this).
'tar' is an anagram of 'ART'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Expertise" , "Works of creative imagination" , "Work such as paintings or sculptures" , "This gallery displays paintings" , "Drawing" .)
