Ignore this covering on road (6)
I believe the answer is:
street
'road' is the definition.
(I know that road can be written as street)
'ignore this covering on' is the wordplay.
'ignore' becomes 'stet' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'this covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'on' becomes 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to').
'stet' enclosing 're' is 'STREET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "Urban thoroughfare" , "City road" , "Roadway" , "Way; setter (anag.)" , "Town road" .)
