Somewhere to hang hospital gown? (8)
I believe the answer is:
wardrobe
'somewhere to hang' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'hospital gown?' is the wordplay.
'hospital' becomes 'ward' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gown?' becomes 'robe' ('robe' can be a synonym of 'gown').
'ward'+'robe'='WARDROBE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wardrobe that I've seen before include "Clothes cupboard associated with ..." , "Storage unit" , "Cupboard for hanging clothes" , "Complete set of clothes, or their container" , "A theatre company's stock of costumes" .)
