Support for someone unfortunately getting carried away (9)
I believe the answer is:
stretcher
'support' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'someone unfortunately getting carried away' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'someone' could be 'etcher' (etcher is a kind of someone) and 'etcher' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stretcher that I've seen before include "Polish device" , "one yawning?" , "For transport of the wounded" , "Elastic item" , "Aid to carrying the injured" .)
