Weaver's frame (4)
I believe the answer is:
loom
'weaver's frame' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for loom that I've seen before include "Appear dimly; be imminent" , "Impend, threaten" , "Appear indistinctly, in threatening form" , "Impend; weaving machine" , "textile manufacturer" .)
