Finding the clues very difficult today. Can anyone suggest an answer for: one or other in due course contracted chronic condition. No word length. No letters to share.

7 letters, parachutes definition.
4 letter word for descend to earth minus last letter.
5 letter word for reckon minus last letter.

Of course Krauton! That’s why you’re on the ball and I’m obviously not. I’m trying. Thank you.

Grid filled, 8 letter words identified, correct letter "plugged in", bars added, but no idea on the (6,9) phrase, nor what the title is exemplifying. I do have a phrase, but can't relate it to the title, so probably wrong. Any clues?

Aha, further research, confirms the phrase is correct, and a PDM on the title swiftly followed, sneaky!

Probes, please can you help me. I’m at that stage only earlier. I have grid filled, identified 8 letter words but no idea how to plug, or the phrase or the title meaning. Is it mathematical terms? Any help appreciated.

Fgsltw, if you read the eight-letter words clockwise, you can insert a letter to make a nine-letter word. Under the grid you write that, preceded by a word indicating how many there are (6,9). Then google that and see what representation you find. That should tie in with the puzzle title in a mathematical context.

The word plug is carefully chosen

Thank you quisling. Got the phrase now and the symbols, just don’t understand title. I’m not very mathematical.
