Gizmos daughters obtain in Indiana port (8)
I believe the answer is:
gadgetry
'gizmos daughters obtain in indiana port' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'daughters obtain in indiana port' is the wordplay.
'daughters' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation for daughters).
'obtain' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'indiana port' becomes 'gary' (I've seen this in another clue).
'd'+'get'='dget'
'dget' placed within 'gary' is 'GADGETRY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gadgetry that I've seen before include "Mechanical tools" , "gismos" , "The making of small ingenious devices" , "Small ingenious devices in general" .)
