Racket held in hand, inevitably (3)
I believe the answer is:
din
'racket' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'held in hand inevitably' is the wordplay.
'held in' indicates a hidden word.
'DIN' is hidden within 'hand inevitably'.
(Other definitions for din that I've seen before include "Too much noise" , "Loud unpleasant noise" , "A lot of unpleasant noise" , "Clamour" , "Unwanted noise" .)
