Parcel lost at the centre unit (4)
I believe the answer is:
cell
'unit' is the definition.
(I know that cell is a type of political entity)
'parcel lost at the centre' is the wordplay.
'CELL' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cell that I've seen before include "Basic unit of living matter" , "Little room" , "Chamber" , "Biological unit with a nucleus" , "Small compartment" .)
