See red piece of cloth close to home
I believe the answer is:
rage
'see red' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'piece of cloth close to home' is the wordplay.
'piece of cloth' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of piece of cloth).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'home' is 'e'.
'rag'+'e'='RAGE'
(Other definitions for rage that I've seen before include "Wrath" , "spread rapidly" , "Frenzy" , "Fit of temper" , "Extreme anger" .)
