Container in which possibly to bath an animal? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hatbox
'container' is the definition.
(hatbox is a kind of container)
'possibly to bath an animal?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'bath' is 'hatb' which is located in the answer.
'animal?' could be 'ox' (castrated bull) and 'ox' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in which' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hatbox that I've seen before include "Ten-gallon container maybe" , "Case for toppers" , "Milliner's container" , "Case for storing headgear" , "Headgear container" .)
