Sorry, but I've lost the clue.
I have O-M-C (5)
I think c OSMIC might have something to do with it, but can't parse a reference to 'dense'
Nobody else seems to have had a problem with it. Am I missing something?

OSMIUM is one of the densest of metals, so "osmic" might mean "dense"?

Thank you Chrise.
If I weren't so osmic I might have worked that out for myself

I'm not convinced it does mean "dense", though! "Osmic" and "osmium" both erive from "smell"....
