Add padding to pure works plugged by composer (9)
I believe the answer is:
upholster
'add padding' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'pure works plugged by composer' is the wordplay.
'works' is an anagram indicator (work can mean to twist or convulse).
'plugged by' is an insertion indicator (plug can mean to block up a gap).
'composer' becomes 'holst' (Gustav Holst).
'pure' anagrammed gives 'uper'.
'uper' placed around 'holst' is 'UPHOLSTER'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upholster that I've seen before include "cover chair" , "Provide furnishings" , "Provide furniture with padding, springs etc" , "Cover furniture" , "something to do with furniture" .)
