container

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

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'sort of tin can or bottle ultimately' is the wordplay.
'sort of' indicates an anagram.
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'bottle' is 'e'.
'tin'+'can'+'or'+'e'='tincanore'
'tincanore' anagrammed gives 'CONTAINER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
