Just open a container (4)
I believe the answer is:
ajar
'just open' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a container' is the wordplay.
'container' becomes 'jar' (jar is a kind of container).
'a'+'jar'='AJAR'
(Other definitions for ajar that I've seen before include "Half-closed" , "letting in a little light?" , "It's nearly open" , "Barely open" , "opened tentatively?" .)
