Clean graduates getting trendy bathroom item (9)
I believe the answer is:
washbasin
'bathroom item' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'clean graduates getting trendy' is the wordplay.
'clean' becomes 'wash' (washing is a kind of cleaning).
'graduates' becomes 'BAs' (people with Bachelor of Arts degrees).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'wash'+'bas'+'in'='WASHBASIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for washbasin that I've seen before include "Bathroom fixture" , "Ablutions bowl" , "home bathroom fitting?" , "Shallow sink" .)
