Presses (5)
I believe the answer is:
irons
'presses' is the definition.
(I know this)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for irons that I've seen before include "English actor" , "Don't have too many in the fire at the same time" , "Prepares clothes" , "Devices restricting personal freedom in prisons" , "Smooths the golfclubs?" .)
