Sleep rough around street — want these for a pound? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pestles
'want these for a pound?' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not. However, I know that 'pound' relates to this answer.
'sleep rough around street' is the wordplay.
'rough' indicates an anagram (a rough or broken ordering of the letters).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'sleep' with letters rearranged gives 'peles'.
'peles' going around 'st' is 'PESTLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pestles that I've seen before include "They're used for grinding" , "Tools to grind material against stone" .)
