Bait Edison prepared with proteins to counter diseases (10)
I believe the answer is:
antibodies
'proteins to counter diseases' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'bait edison prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bait'+'edison'='baitedison'
'baitedison' is an anagram of 'ANTIBODIES'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for antibodies that I've seen is " they're supposed to eradicate disease".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
