'in hospital?' 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?

'faint scent i'd somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'faint'+'scent'+'id'='faintscentid'
'faintscentid' anagrammed gives 'DISINFECTANT'.

'found' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
