Crossword Genius

Remedy offered by a new spot in draw (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antidote

'remedy' is the definition.
(I know that antidote is a type of remedy)

'a new spot in draw' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'spot' becomes 'dot' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'draw' becomes 'tie' (synonyms).
'dot' placed into 'tie' is 'tidote'.
'a'+'n'+'tidote'='ANTIDOTE'

'offered by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for antidote that I've seen before include "Donate it to anti-poison agent" , "Medicine acting against a poison" , "Counteracting medicine" , "It makes you feel better" , "simple remedy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
