Snug clothes on in the near future (7)
I believe the answer is:
tonight
'the near future' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'snug clothes on' is the wordplay.
'snug' becomes 'tight' (similar in meaning).
'clothes' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters clothe or cover others).
'tight' placed around 'on' is 'TONIGHT'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tonight that I've seen before include "Dark time ahead" , "What succeeds this afternoon" , "What follows today" , "On tight (anag.)" , "Hotting up for after sundown" .)
