Mister to check out clothing appeal? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
spray can
'mister' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'check out clothing appeal?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'appeal?' could be 'pray' (I've seen this before) and 'pray' is found within the answer.
'check' could be 'scan' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'scan' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spray can that I've seen before include "Graffiti artist's equipment" , "put on coat?" , "Aerosol" , "one to provide cover with jets" .)
