Paper often served in court injunction initially? (8)
I believe the answer is:
confetti
'paper' is the definition.
(confetti is a kind of paper)
'often served in court injunction initially?' is the wordplay.
'served' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'court' becomes 'ct'.
'initially?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'initially' mean this).
The initial letter of 'injunction' is 'i'.
'often' anagrammed gives 'onfet'.
'onfet' put within 'ct' is 'confett'.
'confett'+'i'='CONFETTI'
(Other definitions for confetti that I've seen before include "Celebratory scraps of coloured paper thrown at weddings" , "Small pieces of coloured paper" , "shower of a union?" , "Pieces of coloured paper thrown at weddings" , "Paper rained on newlyweds" .)
