Visionary vacuum cleaner perhaps puckered fabric (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seersucker

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

'puckered fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'visionary vacuum cleaner' is the wordplay.
'visionary' becomes 'seer' (synonyms).
'vacuum cleaner' becomes 'sucker' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'seer'+'sucker'='SEERSUCKER'

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seersucker that I've seen before include "Puckered fabric" , "Material" , "Cotton" .)
