Hot gear can set free one in the closet (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
coat hanger
'one in the closet' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'hot gear can set free' is the wordplay.
'set free' is an anagram indicator (the letters are free to move around).
'hot'+'gear'+'can'='hotgearcan'
'hotgearcan' is an anagram of 'COAT HANGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coat hanger that I've seen before include "Hot carnage (anag.)" , "Curved piece of wood with a hook in a wardrobe" , "Wardrobe utensil" .)
