PA in twirl right about skirt (5)
I believe the answer is:
apron
'skirt' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'pa in twirl right about' is the wordplay.
'pa in twirl right' becomes 'apr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'apr'+'on'='APRON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "item of clothing in the kitchen" , "Protective garment in kitchen" , "Extension of stage in front of curtain" , "Protective garment (with strings attached!)" , "Paved surface where aircraft stand when not in use" .)
