Sports equipment? Inside - ask Ingrid (3)
I believe the answer is:
ski
'sports equipment?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'inside ask ingrid' is the wordplay.
'inside' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SKI' is hidden within 'ask ingrid'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ski that I've seen before include "Walk on snow" , "Slide downhill, sportingly" , "Participate in winter sport" , "run on 26 [SNOW]" , "What one might do in Alps" .)
