Picked up disgusting medicine in this (4)
I believe the answer is:
vial
'medicine in this' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'picked up disgusting' is the wordplay.
'picked up' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'disgusting' becomes 'vile' (I've seen this before).
'vile' is a homophone of 'VIAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vial that I've seen before include "Small container for liquid medicine" , "Small container for liquids" , "Small bottle used for medicines, laboratory work, etc" , "Ampoule" , "Small medicine bottle" .)
