What to take when unwell in the outskirts of Paris (5)
I believe the answer is:
pills
'what to take' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'unwell in the outskirts of paris' is the wordplay.
'unwell' becomes 'i'll' (similar in meaning).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'outskirts of paris' becomes 'PS' (first and last letters of 'Paris').
'ill' inserted into 'ps' is 'PILLS'.
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pills that I've seen before include "Medicine to be swallowed" , "Tablets of medicine" , "Medication" .)
