Turk swimming around point from point in bathing attire (6)
I believe the answer is:
trunks
'bathing attire' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'turk swimming around point from point in' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'point in' becomes 's' (S is an example. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.**).
'turk' is an anagram of 'truk'.
'truk' enclosing 'n' is 'trunk'.
'trunk'+'s'='TRUNKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trunks that I've seen before include "Elephants can provide such cases" , "luggage" , "Underwear for elephants?" , "Swimwear" , "Swimming garments or tree stems" .)
