'boiler?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.

'among the furniture some' is the wordplay.
'among' indicates a hidden word.
'URN' is hidden in the letters of 'furniture some'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "A large vase, perhaps for holding ashes" , "Water vessel" , "Samovar, perhaps" , "A vase, as for holding human ashes" , "Rounded vase" .)
