Inspector dismisses cop from Lodge (6)
I believe the answer is:
insert
'lodge' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'inspector dismisses cop from' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for insert that I've seen before include "Loose sheet within magazine" , "supplement" , "Introduce, put in" , "Push into" , "Put between or within other things" .)
