Put out in West winds (6)
I believe the answer is:
twines
'winds' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'put out in west' is the wordplay.
'put out' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'west'='inwest'
'inwest' is an anagram of 'TWINES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for twines that I've seen is " Wraps or coils around".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
