Waste puzzlingly suggesting exercise gear? (10)
I believe the answer is:
sweatpants
'puzzlingly suggesting exercise gear?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'waste' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'waste' is 'sweat' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pants' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sweatpants that I've seen before include "Loose, warm garment - wasn't a pest (anag)" , "Joggers" , "clothing" , "Sports bags" .)
