Receiver of a plug (6)
I believe the answer is:
socket
This clue might be a double definition.
'receiver' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a plug' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for socket that I've seen before include "Fitting place" , "A plug goes into it" , "One to receive plug" , "Receptacle for a plug" , "An electric plug fits into it" .)
