Equipment used in ASK Italian (3)
I believe the answer is:
kit
'equipment' is the definition.
(kit is a kind of equipment)
'in ask italian' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'KIT' is hidden in the letters of 'ask italian'.
'used' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for kit that I've seen before include "Young stoat" , "Football top, shorts, stockings and boots?" , "Necessary equipment" , "Equipment; young ferret" , "Outfit" .)
