Fireplace where unmarried folk will strip (5)
I believe the answer is:
ingle
'fireplace' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'unmarried folk will strip' is the wordplay.
'unmarried folk' becomes 'ing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'will' becomes 'velleity' (velleity is a kind of will).
'strip' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'stripped' mean this).
The middle letters of 'velleity' are 'le'.
'ing'+'le'='INGLE'
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ingle that I've seen before include "potentially hot situation" , "Sort of nook" , "Hearth" , "Fire - fireplace" , "Kind of fireplace - get leg in" .)
