Shelters, to some extent, the last of the Mohicans (5)
I believe the answer is:
tents
'shelters' is the definition.
(tent is a kind of shelter)
'some extent the last of the mohicans' is the wordplay.
'some extent' becomes 'ten' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'last of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'mohicans' is 's'.
'ten'+'t'+'s'='TENTS'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tents that I've seen before include "Portable shelters" , "Accommodation" , "Canvas shelters" , "Temporary shelters" .)
