Prevented from producing any blooming result! (6,2,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
nipped in the bud
'any blooming result' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'prevented from' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'producing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
