Gold-lined cabinet for an officer (9)
I believe the answer is:
commodore
'officer' is the definition.
(commodore is a kind of officer)
'gold-lined cabinet for an' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'gold' could be 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold) and 'or' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'commode' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for commodore that I've seen before include "President of a yacht club" , "Naval officer" , "officer, surely?" , "senior officer" , "Naval rank junior to rear-admiral" .)
