Go west to join new outfit (4)
I believe the answer is:
gown
'outfit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'go west to join new' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'go' is present in the answer.
'west' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found within the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT) and 'n' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gown that I've seen before include "Academic or formal wear" , "Academic or formal dress" , "Formal frock, hospital garb and ceremonial dress" , "Ball dress" , "Academic attire" .)
