Hope woman has somewhere to sit (3)
I believe the answer is:
pew
'somewhere to sit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'hope woman has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates a hidden word.
'PEW' is hidden in the letters of 'hope woman'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pew that I've seen before include "Long bench in a church" , "Bench-like seat in a church" , "Long church seat" , "Part of flock sitting here" , "Where some of the flock rest" .)
