Tom ate some ravioli wearing a fancy tie (6)
I believe the answer is:
cravat
'fancy tie' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'tom ate some ravioli wearing a' is the wordplay.
'tom' becomes 'cat' (a tom is a male cat).
'ate' indicates putting letters inside.
'some' suggests taking the first letters.
'wearing a' becomes 'av' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The initial letter of 'ravioli' is 'r'.
'r'+'av'='rav'
'cat' placed around 'rav' is 'CRAVAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cravat that I've seen before include "Old-fashioned flowing tie (6)." , "N eckwear" , "Male neckwear" , "A fancy old necktie" , "item of clothing" .)
