Question about the metal barriers (5)
I believe the answer is:
grill
'question' is the definition.
(to grill is to interrogate)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grill that I've seen before include "pump" , "Question aggressively" , "Cook under direct heat" , "Question closely" , "Intensely question; dish" .)
