See both wandering into shops, identifying store for a later date (8)
I believe the answer is:
mothball
'store for a later date' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'see both wandering into shops' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'shops' becomes 'mall'.
'both' is an anagram of 'othb'.
'othb' inserted inside 'mall' is 'MOTHBALL'.
'identifying' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mothball that I've seen before include "Naphthalene or camphor sphere" , "Put under wraps" , "Insect repellent" , "Camphor sphere used to keep stored clothing in good condition" , "Put into long-term storage" .)
