boot

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

'luggage container' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'one foot long?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boot that I've seen before include "Amass and hide away" , "Luggage compartment" , "Item of footwear" , "Hard kick; part of car" , "Clothing; kick" .)
