Opening exchange to the front (9)
I believe the answer is:
ventrally
'to the front' is the definition.
(ventral means relating to the front)
'opening exchange' is the wordplay.
'opening' becomes 'vent' (vent is a kind of opening).
'exchange' becomes 'rally' (rally is a kind of exchange).
'vent'+'rally'='VENTRALLY'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
