bathrobe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gown' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'bachelor buzzing with energy' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'BA' (the qualification: Bachelor of Arts).
'buzzing with' becomes 'throb' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mch).
'ba'+'throb'+'e'='BATHROBE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
