Result of pat on baby's back, turn remarkably soppy (9)
I believe the answer is:
windypops
'result of pat on baby's back' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'turn remarkably soppy' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'wind' (I've seen this before).
'remarkably' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'soppy' is an anagram of 'ypops'.
'wind'+'ypops'='WINDYPOPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
