Still name carried by tin soldier? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stagnant
'still' is the definition.
('stagnant' can be a synonym of 'still')
'name carried by tin soldier?' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'tag' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'carried by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tin' becomes 'sn' (Sn is the chemical symbol for tin).
'soldier?' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this before).
'tag' inserted inside 'sn' is 'stagn'.
'stagn'+'ant'='STAGNANT'
(Other definitions for stagnant that I've seen before include "Standing still" , "making no progress" , "Unmoving (water)" , "Inactive" , "Stale like still water" .)
