Pans difficult to wear out (8)
I believe the answer is:
hardware
'pans difficult to wear out' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'difficult to wear out' is the wordplay.
'difficult' becomes 'hard' (synonyms).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'wear' with letters rearranged gives 'ware'.
'hard'+'ware'='HARDWARE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hardware that I've seen before include "Metal goods etc" , "Tackle" , "Military equipment" , "Physical components of a computer system" , "Domestic goods and tools - components of a computer system" .)
