Wasted singular legwear (6)
I believe the answer is:
tights
'wasted singular' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tights that I've seen before include "Types of stockings" , "Woman's garment" , "Women's garments" , "Leg-wear for women" , "Close fitting garment" .)
