Turn the broken legs round and get the fixatives (5)
I believe the answer is:
glues
'the fixatives' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'turn the broken legs round' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'the broken' is an anagram indicator.
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'legs' with letters rearranged gives 'gles'.
'u' placed into 'gles' is 'GLUES'.
'and get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for glues that I've seen is " Sticks together".)
