Club raised objection, installing hot container to wash in (7)
I believe the answer is:
bathtub
'container to wash in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'club raised objection installing hot' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'bat' (as in sporting equipment).
'raised' is a reversal indicator (going up in a down clue).
'objection' becomes 'but' (as in 'no ifs, no buts').
'installing' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'but' back-to-front is 'tub'.
'bat'+'tub'='battub'
'battub' placed around 'h' is 'BATHTUB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bathtub that I've seen before include "Get in a lather with this" , "Vessel in which one washes oneself" , "Need this to be clean" , "Container for the body during ablutions" , "washer" .)
