Storage bin, one missing a peg? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hopper
'storage bin' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one missing a peg?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'per' and 'per' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hop' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hopper that I've seen before include "Large funnel-shaped receptacle" , "Cricket, perhaps" , "Edward ..., American realist painter" , "US painter" , "Loading funnel for solid materials" .)
