Ache indoors, running to acquire figure (11)
I believe the answer is:
icosahedron
'figure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ache indoors running' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ache'+'indoors'='acheindoors'
'acheindoors' with letters rearranged gives 'ICOSAHEDRON'.
'to acquire' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for icosahedron that I've seen before include "Twenty-faced solid" , "Figure" .)
