Rubbery materials, elastic perhaps (7)
I believe the answer is:
latices
'rubbery materials' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'elastic perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'elastic' is an anagram of 'LATICES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for latices that I've seen is " Milky fluids".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
