Cover music composed for two that takes in verse (5)
I believe the answer is:
duvet
'cover music composed for two that takes in verse' is the definition.
'duvet' can be an answer for 'cover' (a duvet is a bed cover). I'm unsure of the rest of the definition.
'two that takes in verse' is the wordplay.
'two' becomes 'duet' (duet is a kind of two).
'that takes in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'verse' becomes 'v'.
'duet' placed around 'v' is 'DUVET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duvet that I've seen before include "Eiderdown" , "Continental quilt" , "Thick soft quilt instead of bedclothes" , "Warm covering for bed" , "Type of quilt" .)
