Organic defence for the soul? (8)
I believe the answer is:
antibody
This clue could be a double definition.
'organic defence' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'soul?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'for the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antibody that I've seen before include "Immune system protein" , "Antigen attacker" , "Protein produced in the blood" , "Protective protein in blood which destroys inimical substances" , "protection against disease" .)
