About to help around home, making cupboard (7)
I believe the answer is:
cabinet
'cupboard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about to help around home' is the wordplay.
'about to' becomes 'ca' (I've seen this in other clues).
'help' becomes 'bet' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'bet' enclosing 'in' is 'binet'.
'ca'+'binet'='CABINET'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cabinet that I've seen before include "up against the wall?" , "Senior government ministers" , "Wooden box; committee" , "high-level meeting" , "Piece of furniture for members of a government" .)
