The majority of superior climbers absorb current lotions (12)
I believe the answer is:
moisturisers
'lotions' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the majority of superior climbers absorb current' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'superior' could be 'u' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'u' is found in the answer.
'current' could be 'i' (symbol for electric current) and 'i' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
