Kit put on top of school cap? (8)
I believe the answer is:
headgear
'school cap?' is the definition.
'headgear' can be an answer for 'cap?' (cap is a kind of headgear). I am unsure of the 'school' bit.
'kit put on top' is the wordplay.
'kit' becomes 'gear' (I've seen this before).
'put on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go on or after others).
'top' becomes 'head' (synonyms).
'gear' after 'head' is 'HEADGEAR'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headgear that I've seen before include "cap, say" , "Hats, helmets etc." , "bowler, for example" , "Perhaps a hat" , "crown, say" .)
