Protective clothing with strings attached? (5)
I believe the answer is:
apron
'protective clothing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'with strings attached?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'strings' becomes 'apr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'attached?' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'apr' put next to 'on' is 'APRON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "stage perhaps" , "Kitchen garment or part of airfield" , "Extension of stage in front of curtain" , "Garment traditionally worn by mother" , "conveyor-belt" .)
