Without air at first, heating elements retaining temperature — they don’t provide much coverage (1-7)
I believe the answer is:
g-strings
'they don't provide much coverage' is the definition.
(type of underwear using little material)
'without air at first heating elements retaining temperature' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'temperature' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
