One suspended in hot incense (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hanger

'one suspended' is the definition.
(something hanging or suspended)

'hot incense' is the wordplay.
'hot' becomes 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps).
'incense' becomes 'anger' (incense can mean to anger).
'h'+'anger'='HANGER'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for hanger that I've seen before include "Wardrobe item" , "Support in wardrobe" , "A large shed for an aircraft" , "suspender" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
