Make acceptable rugs with a synthetic fur (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
sugar-coat
'make acceptable' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'rugs with a synthetic fur' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'synthetic' is an anagram indicator.
'fur' becomes 'coat' (an animal's coat).
'rugs' put after 'a' is 'arugs'.
'arugs' with letters rearranged gives 'sugar'.
'sugar'+'coat'='SUGAR-COAT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sugar-coat that I've seen before include "Make something distasteful seem more palatable?" , "Give a better view of" .)
