Metal container's yellow with handle on right (3)
I believe the answer is:
ore
'metal' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Raw metal ' mean 'ore' so perhaps 'metal' could also mean 'ore')
'container's yellow with handle on right' is the wordplay.
'container' suggests removing the centre (I've seen 'container of' mean this).
'yellow' becomes 'ocher' (ocher is a kind of yellow).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'handle on right' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ocher' with its centre removed is 'or'.
'or'+'e'='ORE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ore that I've seen before include "store of value" , "Danish currency" , "Material for smelting" , "Raw metal" , "Mineral - Scandinavian monetary unit" .)
