Might straighten out cupboard for leggings etc (7-5)
I believe the answer is:
trouser-press
'might' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'straighten out cupboard for leggings etc' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cupboard' could be 'press' (term for a large cupboard) and 'press' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'trouser' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trouser-press that I've seen before include "Means of keeping crease in garment" , "Machine found in hotel rooms" , "Flattener for the bottom half of a suit" , "Electrical appliance found in many hotel rooms" , "It decreases gents' clothing" .)
