I believe the answer is:

neglige

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nightwear' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'egg scrambled with line' is the wordplay.
'scrambled with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'egg' mixed up with 'line' gives 'NEGLIGE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neglige that I've seen before include "Casual attire (from Fr.)" , "Light dressing gown" , "Diaphanous dressing-gown" .)
