Cupboard containing linen, perhaps sheets and rags? (5)
I believe the answer is:
press
'cupboard' is the definition.
(term for a large cupboard)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for press that I've seen before include "Smooth" , "harass > crowd" , "Newspapers - cupboard" , "Journalists - crowd" , "Iron (clothes)" .)
