One holding Erdogan's éclat to be false? (10)
I believe the answer is:
receptacle
'one holding erdogan's' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'eclat to be false?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'eclat' is 'tacle' which is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for receptacle that I've seen before include "bin, perhaps" , "Container" , "Object made to contain something" , "What may contain something" , "Holder" .)
