What constitutes a list of arguments against storing canvas? (8)
I believe the answer is:
contents
'what constitutes a list' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'arguments against storing canvas?' is the wordplay.
'arguments against' becomes 'cons' (as in pros and cons).
'storing' indicates putting letters inside.
'canvas?' becomes 'tent' (canvas is a kind of tent).
'cons' placed around 'tent' is 'CONTENTS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for contents that I've seen before include "Satisfies the list of chapters" , "All that's contained" , "Makes satisfied - with ingredients?" , "What's inside" , "Things inside" .)
