parlour

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

'salon' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'learner in uproar destroyed' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'destroyed' is an anagram indicator.
'uproar' with letters rearranged gives 'parour'.
'l' inserted inside 'parour' is 'PARLOUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parlour that I've seen before include "Living room - where farmers milk cows?" , "Confident, daring" , "Old-fashioned living room" , "Shop etc, formerly front room" , "Room for receiving guests in a monastery" .)
