I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sort of belt' is the definition.

'employ for holding woman together' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'employ' could be 'use' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employ') and 'use' is found in the answer.
'woman' could be 'carol' and 'carol' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carousel that I've seen before include "Rotating conveyor" , "Baggage conveyor" , "Revolving belt for luggage at airport" , "Musical, roundabout" , "airport feature?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
