One breaks leg: people between times offering balm (8)
I believe the answer is:
ointment
'balm' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'one breaks leg people between times' is the wordplay.
'one breaks leg' becomes 'oin' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'between' indicates putting letters inside.
'times' becomes 'tt' (two abbreviations for time).
'men' placed into 'tt' is 'tment'.
'oin'+'tment'='OINTMENT'
'offering' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ointment that I've seen before include "Medicinal rub" , "Healing cream" , "Soothing cream 98)" , "Preparation for the skin" , "Medicated oily compound" .)
