School introducing new software for some hard stuff (8)
I believe the answer is:
schnapps
'some hard stuff' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'school introducing new software for' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'sch' (common abbreviation).
'introducing' says to take the initial letters.
'software for' becomes 'apps' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letter of 'new' is 'n'.
'sch'+'n'+'apps'='SCHNAPPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schnapps that I've seen before include "Holland gin" , "Dutch clear alcohol" , "Strong drink like gin" , "Strong gin-like drink" , "A strong fruit brandy" .)
