Embarrassed sailor with a place for tools? (7)
I believe the answer is:
abashed
'embarrassed' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'sailor with a place for tools?' is the wordplay.
'sailor' becomes 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'place for tools?' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ab'+'a'+'shed'='ABASHED'
(Other definitions for abashed that I've seen before include "Embarrassed or discomfited" , "'Self-conscious, embarrassed (7)'" , "Made ashamed" , "taken aback" , "Made embarrassed" .)
