Abrasion – predicament (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrape
I believe this is a double definition.
'abrasion' is the first definition.
(I know that abrasion can be written as scrape)
'predicament' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "Recaps about predicament" , "Abrade - economise" , "Thinly-spread butter" , "Awkward situation - be very economical" , "Difficult situation; graze" .)
