Clothing linked to particular period? Nonsense (7)
I believe the answer is:
garbage
'nonsense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'clothing linked to particular period?' is the wordplay.
'clothing' becomes 'garb' (garb is a kind of clothing).
'linked to' says to put letters next to each other.
'particular period?' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of period. I am not sure about the 'particular' bit.).
'garb'+'age'='GARBAGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for garbage that I've seen before include "Nonsense!" , "hot air" , "A beggar? - that may be rubbish" , "Refuse - a beggar (anag)" , "Unwanted stuff" .)
