Chair covering -- not for mum? -- Charlie carried in vehicle (12)
I believe the answer is:
antimacassar
'chair covering' is the definition.
'antimacassar' can be an answer for 'covering' (antimacassar is a kind of covering). I'm unsure of the 'chair' bit.
'not for mum? charlie carried in vehicle' is the wordplay.
'not for' becomes 'anti' (I've seen this in another clue).
'mum?' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
'charlie' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a foolish person).
'carried in' indicates putting letters inside.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'ass' placed within 'car' is 'cassar'.
'anti'+'ma'+'cassar'='ANTIMACASSAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antimacassar that I've seen before include "Cloth protecting chair from grease" , "Protective chair cover" , "Chair back protector" , "It keeps hair oil off the back of a chair" , "Protective cloth on upholstered seat" .)
