Study two articles on sulphur in alkaline solution (7)
I believe the answer is:
analyse
'study' is the definition.
(I know that study can be written as analyse)
'two articles on sulphur in alkaline solution' is the wordplay.
'two articles' becomes 'ana' ('an' and 'a', English indefinite articles. I am not sure about the 'two' bit.).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sulphur' becomes 'S' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'alkaline solution' becomes 'lye' (I've seen this in another clue).
's' inserted into 'lye' is 'lyse'.
'ana'+'lyse'='ANALYSE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for analyse that I've seen before include "Resolve into components" , "test" , "Any seal (anag.)" , "Examine the component parts" , "Separate (something) into its component parts" .)
