Is keen to get out from the lift (5)
I believe the answer is:
hoist
'out from the lift' is the definition.
'hoist' can be an answer for 'lift' (hoist can mean to lift something up). I'm unsure of the 'out from the' bit.
'is keen to get' is the wordplay.
'keen' becomes 'hot' (hot on something means keen on something).
'to get' is an insertion indicator.
'is' placed within 'hot' is 'HOIST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Raise on pulleys" , "piece of lifting gear" , "Come down" , "group of flags" , "Lifting tackle" .)
