Something found on desktop computer's terminal following look into corrupt betting app? (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
blotting paper
'something found on desktop' is the definition.
(blotting paper might be found on a desk)
'computer's terminal following look into corrupt betting app?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'following' could be 'per' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'per' is found within the answer.
'look' could be 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!') and 'lo' is located in the answer.
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' 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 blotting paper that I've seen before include "Absorber of ink" , "It absorbs ink" , "Ink drier" , "Ink soaker-upper" , "Ink-drying material" .)
