Paint can — it could cause damage to the environment (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
brush fire
This might be a double definition.
'paint' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'it could cause damage to the environment' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'can' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
