Support possibly lost out of love (5)
I believe the answer is:
stool
'support possibly lost out of love' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'possibly lost out of love' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'out of' indicates putting letters inside.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'lost' is an anagram of 'stol'.
'stol' enclosing 'o' is 'STOOL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stool that I've seen before include "Seat without a back" , "Armless seat" , "place butt on one?" , "Three-legged backless seat" , "item of furniture here" .)
