    It doesn't, you are along the right lines with the ruminate = consider part.

      I can think of a few other 8 letter words for ruminate but no reasoning behind. Rather than just guess I'll keep thinking and see if anyone else comes up with an answer, which quite frankly I think makes me due some swagger points for fair play!!! :)

        You're very convincing, but alas wrong. A Bonus point for the effort that went into it though!

            Steering ruminate = "dwell"ing on ones thoughts leases out = a "maneuver" involving property (ie: a car) alcoholic cage = a "test" of alcoholism The dwell maneuver test is used to quantify steering on a car. Yes? No? :-) -- Ian

                Is the clue a tough on because ruminate is insinuating that there is an anagram made up from the solution to 'leases out' and 'alcoholic cages' (which I think is more likely to be can / glass / mug etc rather than something to do with alcoholism)??

                It definitely isn't definatley

                  I cannot give too many clues, but I will say there is NO ANAGRAM!

                            Zeolites are cage structures...I was hoping "clathrate" would fit but it's too long...
