Ointment you can figure to get in a sale? (5)
I believe the answer is:
salve
'ointment' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'get in a sale?' is the wordplay.
'get' becomes 'v' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'v' going inside 'sale' is 'SALVE'.
'you can figure to' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salve that I've seen before include "Soothing remedy" , "Welcome" , "Balm - ointment" , "Laves with soothing stuff" , "Soother" .)
