Can rising poet reject society? (6)
I believe the answer is:
toilet
'can' is the definition.
('can' is an informal term for toilet)
'rising poet reject society?' is the wordplay.
'rising' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'poet' becomes 'Eliot' (TS Eliot).
'reject society?' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'eliot' back-to-front is 'toile'.
'toile'+'t'='TOILET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toilet that I've seen before include "Waste disposal unit" , "Lavatory paper" , "where penny the cost?" , "A formal loo" , "Plumbing fixture" .)
