Jam in second drawer on counter (10)
I believe the answer is:
standstill
'jam' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in second drawer on counter' is the wordplay.
'in second' becomes 'n' (snd letter of 'in').
'drawer' becomes 'dsti' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' indicates putting letters inside.
'counter' becomes 'stall' (as in a stall or counter at a market).
'n'+'dsti'='ndsti'
'ndsti' inserted into 'stall' is 'STANDSTILL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for standstill that I've seen before include "stoppage" , "arrest" , "Situation without movement or activity" , "Perhaps jam" , "lack of movement" .)
