Shiny silver paper discarded? (8)
I believe the answer is:
aglitter
'shiny' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'silver paper discarded?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'silver' could be 'ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver) and 'ag' is found in the answer.
'paper' could be 'i' (UK newspaper) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aglitter that I've seen before include "Shiny" , "Sparkling with light" .)
