Suspicion of corrosion after condensation (8)
I believe the answer is:
mistrust
'suspicion' is the definition.
(I know that suspicion can be written as mistrust)
'corrosion after condensation' is the wordplay.
'corrosion' becomes 'rust' (rust is a kind of corrosion).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'condensation' becomes 'mist'.
'rust' put after 'mist' is 'MISTRUST'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for mistrust that I've seen before include "Have no confidence in (someone)" , "Lack of belief (in someone)" , "reservations" , "Regard with suspicion" , "Suspect (someone)" .)
