Metal goods ruined in water (7)
I believe the answer is:
tinware
'metal goods' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'ruined in water' is the wordplay.
'ruined' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'water'='inwater'
'inwater' with letters rearranged gives 'TINWARE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tinware that I've seen before include "Baking sheets" , "Cheap material" , "Articles made of metal plate - wet rain (anag)" , "Metal items" , "Metal utensils" .)
