Go from place to place to acquire device (6)
I believe the answer is:
gadget
'device' is the definition.
(gadget is a kind of device)
'go from place to place to acquire' is the wordplay.
'go from place to place' becomes 'gad' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to acquire' becomes 'get' (synonyms).
'gad'+'get'='GADGET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gadget that I've seen before include "Device or invention" , "Ingenious little device" , "Small ingenious device" , "Handy device" , "Mechanical contrivance" .)
