Neutralising element redeployed on Vietnam (9)
I believe the answer is:
antivenom
'neutralising element' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'redeployed on vietnam' is the wordplay.
'redeployed' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'on'+'vietnam'='onvietnam'
'onvietnam' with letters rearranged gives 'ANTIVENOM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
