Slash quota of curtain material? (10)
I believe the answer is:
laceration
'slash' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'quota of curtain material?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'quota' could be 'ration' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ration' is present in the answer.
'material?' could be 'lace' (lace is a kind of material) and 'lace' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laceration that I've seen before include "Tear" , "wound" , "rent" , "Tearing (of skin)" , "Cut, scratch" .)
