Consider (the possibility) of carpenter tainting interior (9)
I believe the answer is:
entertain
'consider the possibility' is the definition.
'entertain' can be an answer for 'consider' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'the possibility' bit.
'of carpenter tainting interior' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ENTERTAIN' is hidden in the letters of 'carpenter tainting interior'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entertain that I've seen before include "Put up" , "Think about" , "what the party host will do" , "Have a mind to - have a party" , "Show hospitality to; amuse" .)
