Agnes Rupert's holding back where you might expect to find change (5)
I believe the answer is:
purse
'where you might expect to find change' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'agnes rupert's holding back' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'esrup' is hidden within 'agnes ruperts'.
'esrup' backwards is 'PURSE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for purse that I've seen before include "Prize funds" , "Handbag or money prize" , "winnings" , "Compress (lips)" , "Money-pouch" .)
