Chair that took two people to carry (5)
I believe the answer is:
sedan
'chair' is the definition.
(sedan chair is a type of chair)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Enclosed chair" , "Battle in 1940" , "American car" , "Once a mobile chair for Danes" , "Saloon-car" .)
