Lion wrapped in a sort of cloth! (4)
I believe the answer is:
loin
'sort of cloth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'lion wrapped' is the wordplay.
'lion' can be anagrammed to 'LOIN'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'in a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for loin that I've seen before include "Either side of the backbone between the hip bone and ribs" , "flesh!" , "Part of a carcase" , "Cut of meat from between the ribs and rump" , "Cut of meat from the lower back and sides" .)
