I think it could be either:

answer

saline

'solution' is the definition.
(chemical solution)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for saline that I've seen before include "like the Mediterranean?" , "Salty like sea water" , "solution" , "Containing salt or salts" , "Containing salt for aliens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, the Evening Standard, the USA Today, the Canadiana, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Daily Mail, the Penny Press, The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
