Clothing from Asian rails oddly neglected (5)
I believe the answer is:
saris
'clothing from' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'asian rails oddly neglected' is the wordplay.
'oddly neglected' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions removed).
'asian'+'rails'='asianrails'
The alternating letters of 'asianrails' are 'SARIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saris that I've seen before include "Garments" , "Dresses worn primarily by Hindu women" .)
