This woman will throw explosive missile (5)
I believe the answer is:
shell
This might be a double definition.
'this woman will' is the first definition.
(contraction of 'she will')
'throw explosive missile' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shell that I've seen before include "What's explosive" , "Hard outer case" , "pepper?" , "See 18" , "Mollusc's casing" .)
