Clueless 417

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Please explain your clue unless it is really obvious.

Clues should be submitted by 8.00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday 3rd of April with the result announced shortly afterwards.

This week's challenge is:

ELBOW (5)

Have fun!
