Puritans resolved to avoid one hot spot (7)
I believe the answer is:
suntrap
'hot spot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'puritans resolved to avoid one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'un' (northern English dialect form of 'one') and 'un' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'strap' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suntrap that I've seen before include "Outdoor hotspot" , "Hot sheltered place" , "where it could get hot" , "hot spot" , "Warm sheltered spot" .)
