Kitchen rug (3)
I believe the answer is:
mat
'kitchen rug' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for mat that I've seen before include "coaster" , "Opening of good book" , "Rug; without a shine" , "A piece of material as floor covering" , "Piece of material for wiping feet on" .)
