What may pick up fool with no work, feeling pressure to return (12)
I believe the answer is:
dessertspoon
'what may pick up fool' is the definition.
(fool is a type of dessert)
'no work feeling pressure to return' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'feeling pressure' becomes 'stressed'.
'to return' says the letters should be written backwards.
'no'+'op'+'stressed'='noopstressed'
'noopstressed' back-to-front is 'DESSERTSPOON'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for dessertspoon that I've seen before include "medium-sized server" , "What may be essential for junket" .)
