Put your towel if not your shirt on it (5)
I believe the answer is:
horse
'put' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to consumption as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'your towel if not your shirt on it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hrs' 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 horse that I've seen before include "It may get people stoned" , "punch, perhaps" , "Roan" , "farm animal" , "Nag, hack" .)
