It can spoil satin (5)

I believe the answer is:

stain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'spoil satin' is the wordplay.
'spoil' is an anagram indicator.
'satin' anagrammed gives 'STAIN'.

'can' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stain that I've seen before include "Spot - shame" , "Discolouration" , "Discolour - blemish" , "Tarnish" , "Taint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
