Fix pink band in the middle round here to hold material (6,4)

I believe the answer is:

napkin ring

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'here to hold material' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'fix pink band in the middle round' is the wordplay.
'fix' is an anagram indicator.
'in the middle' says to take the centre.
'round' becomes 'ring' (synonyms).
The centre of 'band' is 'an'.
'pink'+'an'='pinkan'
'pinkan' with letters rearranged gives 'napkin'.
'napkin'+'ring'='NAPKIN-RING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for napkin ring that I've seen before include "Serviette hoop" , "Serviette holder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
