Whence tea may run freely (3)
I believe the answer is:
urn
'whence tea' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'run freely' is the wordplay.
'freely' is an anagram indicator.
'run' anagrammed gives 'URN'.
'may' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for urn that I've seen before include "Samovar, perhaps" , "Vase-shaped vessel" , "Rounded vase" , "Vase for containing ashes" , "Run to get Greek vase" .)
