Assist in destabilising stable condition? (6)
I believe the answer is:
stasis
'stable condition?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'assist in destabilising' is the wordplay.
'assist' anagrams to 'STASIS'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stasis that I've seen before include "Assist (anag.)" , "Enduring state" , "Inactive state" , "State in which blood-flow is stopped" , "Stoppage of blood flow in body" .)
