Long to accept piece of advice in place of PPE? (8)
I believe the answer is:
pinafore
'ppe?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'long to accept piece of advice in place of' is the wordplay.
'long' becomes 'pine' (synonyms).
'to accept' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'piece of' indicates taking the first letters.
'in place of' becomes 'for'.
The first letter of 'advice' is 'a'.
'a'+'for'='afor'
'pine' placed around 'afor' is 'PINAFORE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pinafore that I've seen before include "Protective garment; a stage ship" , "gives homely protection" , "It protects female worker" , "Sort of apron" , "HMS -- (G&S)" .)
