Fashion designer keeps a drawer for measuring device (8)
I believe the answer is:
quadrant
'measuring device' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'fashion designer keeps a drawer' is the wordplay.
'fashion designer' becomes 'quant' (I've seen this before).
'keeps' is an insertion indicator.
'a drawer' becomes 'dra' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'quant' going around 'dra' is 'QUADRANT'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quadrant that I've seen before include "Quarter sector of circle" , "Instrument" , "Quarter of a circle or of its circumference" , "Fourth part of circumference" , "Fourth part of sphere or circle" .)
