Polishing crystal chandelier is hard occasionally - with bulky ladders initially misplaced - if they go wrong: crash! (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
hydraulic brakes
'crash' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
