Right medicine container keeps getting shared a lot (5)
I believe the answer is:
viral
'shared a lot' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
'right medicine container keeps' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'medicine container' becomes 'vial' (I've seen this in another clue).
'keeps' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are kept inside).
'r' going within 'vial' is 'VIRAL'.
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for viral that I've seen before include "Pertaining to an ultramicroscopic infection" , "Of organisms that transmit infectious disease" , "Rapidly becoming popular online" , "Caused by pathogenic agent" , "Like many diseases" .)
