Two garments in one? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
frock coat
'one?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'two garments' is the wordplay.
'two garments' means two substitutions for 'garment'.
'garment' becomes 'frock' (frock is a kind of garment).
'garment' becomes 'coat' (coat is a kind of garment).
'frock'+'coat'='FROCK-COAT'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
