The case presented by Socrates? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crate

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

'the case' is the definition.
(both can mean a container)

'by socrates?' is the wordplay.
'CRATE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'presented' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crate that I've seen before include "Wooden container" , "Old soldiers might be found in this" , "Clapped-out vehicle" , "Trace to a large container" , "Carton; old plane" .)
