Has previously to accept one lead washer? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
hip bath
'washer?' is the definition.
(type of bath, something which washes)
'has previously to accept one lead' is the wordplay.
'has previously' becomes 'hath' (archaic version of 'has').
'to accept' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'lead' becomes 'pb' (Pb is the chemical symbol for lead).
'i'+'pb'='ipb'
'hath' going around 'ipb' is 'HIP-BATH'.
(Another definition for hip bath that I've seen is " Washer's facility".)
