Ring one about equipment in the morning for paper folding art (7)
I believe the answer is:
origami
'paper folding art' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ring one about equipment in the morning' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'about' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'equipment' becomes 'rig' (rig is a kind of equipment).
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'rig'+'am'='rigam'
'i' put after 'rigam' is 'rigami'.
'o'+'rigami'='ORIGAMI'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Creation of objects from paper" , "Making of paper shape" , "It's crafty folding" , "Artistic paper folding" , "Art of crafting objects from paper" .)
