Gas inside the new bottle (6)
I believe the answer is:
ethene
'gas inside the new bottle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'inside the new bottle' is the wordplay.
'bottle' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'bottles' mean this (bottling is a kind of containing)).
'ETHENE' can be found hidden inside 'inside the new'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ethene that I've seen is " Compound".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
