A solver confused about second clue: Garment (8)
I believe the answer is:
overalls
'garment' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Protective garment ' mean 'overalls' so perhaps 'garment' could also mean 'overalls')
'a solver confused about second clue' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'second clue' becomes 'l' (2nd letter of 'clue').
'a'+'solver'='asolver'
'asolver' anagrammed gives 'overals'.
'overals' going around 'l' is 'OVERALLS'.
(Other definitions for overalls that I've seen before include "Protective garment" , "Save roll (anag.)" , "Dungarees" , "Boiler suits" , "Boiler suit" .)
