Frame for drying clothes, rare, I replaced (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airer

'frame for drying clothes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rare i replaced' is the wordplay.
'replaced' indicates an anagram.
'rare'+'i'='rarei'
'rarei' with letters rearranged gives 'AIRER'.

(Other definitions for airer that I've seen before include "Clothes drier" , "Stand" , "Laundry-drying frame" , "I rear (anag) - frame for clothes" , "Laundry drying frame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
