Key to clothes shop (5)
I believe the answer is:
tesco
'shop' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'key to clothes' is the wordplay.
'key' becomes 'esc' ('Escape' key on a computer keyboard).
'clothes' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters clothe or cover others).
'esc' inserted into 'to' is 'TESCO'.
