Amusing person's example (4)
I believe the answer is:
case
'example' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for case that I've seen before include "proceedings" , "Outer shell" , "Overnight bag" , "Box of twelve bottles of wine" , "baggage item" .)
