Crossword Genius

Doctor wore drab clothes (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wardrobe

'clothes' is the definition.
(wardrobe is a kind of clothes)

'doctor wore drab' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'wore'+'drab'='woredrab'
'woredrab' anagrammed gives 'WARDROBE'.

(Other definitions for wardrobe that I've seen before include "store here" , "Tall cupboard" , "Complete set of clothes, or their container" , "Tall furniture for storage of clothes" , "Cabinet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
