Power to germinate through repeatedly getting round current burning (9)
I believe the answer is:
viability
'power to germinate' is the definition.
(being viable)
'through repeatedly getting round current burning' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'through' could be 'via' (via means going through) and 'via' is located in the answer.
'current' could be 'i' (symbol for electric current) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'burning' could be 'lit' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lit' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'by' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for viability that I've seen before include "likelihood of success" , "Aptitude for living" .)
