I don't want to jinx things, getting Tinder (9)
I believe the answer is:
touchwood
'tinder' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'i don't want to jinx things' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for touchwood that I've seen before include "Make superstitious gesture" , "Here's hoping" , "Take superstitious action to avoid bad luck" , "Make superstitious contact to avert bad luck" , "it catches fire easily!" .)
