Recall battle to get fabric used to make product (3,8)
I believe the answer is:
raw material
'product' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'recall battle to get fabric' is the wordplay.
'recall' is a reversal indicator.
'battle' becomes 'war' (armed conflict).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fabric' becomes 'material' (synonyms).
'war' written backwards gives 'raw'.
'raw'+'material'='RAW MATERIAL'
'used to make' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raw material that I've seen before include "Unprocessed resource" , "something uncooked" .)
