Crete: place designed for a holdall? (10)
I believe the answer is:
receptacle
'a holdall?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'crete place designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates anagramming the letters (designed with the letters).
'crete'+'place'='creteplace'
'creteplace' with letters rearranged gives 'RECEPTACLE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for receptacle that I've seen before include "Container" , "Object made to contain something" , "tank, say" , "Holder" , "bin, perhaps" .)
