Each of the words in 1-13 have had a word removed from them. The definitions of the removed words are in a-m. Find the removed words and then place them in the blank spaces to recreate the original 13-letter words. The words will fill in the ‘-‘ without changing the order of the letters. Example : Fa-h-o-mo-g-- with a. transgressor = sinner, answer = Fashionmonger.
-1. le-h--o--n-ss -2. m-cro-c--om-- -3. g-o-or-ho--g- -4. --cro--t-i-nt -5. -t-a-f-s-n-ss -6. -e--ph-s-zi-g -7. ov--do--na-c- -8. s-c--ar-m-te- -9. -us-ll--im-u- -10. mur-e--us--s- -11. --s-p--a-ance -12. --s-a--a-teur -13. con-r-p---i-t
-a. baby's moisture barrier -b. come back -c. fertilizer -d. hire -e. hurting more -f. large musical instruments -g. lasting for an indefinitely long period of time -h. male bees -i. provokes -j. stay behind -k. use tranquilizers -l. weasel -m. white lead as a pigment
Netflix needs to stop asking if I'm still watching and start asking if I've switched the laundry over yet

I have come to the conclusion that 8e must be sAcCharImEteR, either an alternative (but not in my dictionary) or misspelling of sacchar ometer, e being ACHIER = hurting more. As you were! Further research indicates two slightly different gadgets for measuring the strength of sugar solutions, the apparent difference being that the sacchar imeter relies to some extent on measuring light passing through the solution, whereas the other spelling denotes a type of hydrometer basically doing the same job.

Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
