Rearrange coat in either half of suitcase (6)
I believe the answer is:
action
'either half of suitcase' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'rearrange coat in' is the wordplay.
'rearrange' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'coat'+'in'='coatin'
'coatin' is an anagram of 'ACTION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for action that I've seen before include "war?" , "Director's call" , "claim in court" , "The process of doing something" , "Operation - lawsuit" .)
