Ability to calculate shower pressure in boudoir (10)
I believe the answer is:
brainpower
'ability' is the definition.
(brainpower is a kind of ability)
'shower pressure in boudoir' is the wordplay.
'shower' becomes 'rain' (rainfall).
'pressure' becomes 'p' (scientific abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'boudoir' becomes 'bower'.
'rain'+'p'='rainp'
'rainp' put within 'bower' is 'BRAINPOWER'.
'to calculate' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for brainpower that I've seen is " intelligence".)
