Material for floor exercise bores coach and gymnast, ultimately (6)
I believe the answer is:
carpet
'material for floor' is the definition.
'carpet' can be an answer for 'floor' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'material for' bit.
'exercise bores coach and gymnast ultimately' is the wordplay.
'exercise' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'bores' means one lot of letters goes inside another (bore can mean to drill into).
'coach' becomes 'car' (as in a train coach or car).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'gymnast' is 't'.
'car'+'t'='cart'
'pe' put within 'cart' is 'CARPET'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for carpet that I've seen before include "Floor cover" , "Tell off" , "Tear into - floor covering" , "has pull up sharply" , "Be on this floor covering to be reprimanded" .)
