Provide gorilla skin clothing for Jackson? (6)
I believe the answer is:
glenda
'for jackson?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'provide gorilla skin clothing' is the wordplay.
'provide' becomes 'lend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'skin' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the skin or outside of the word is used).
'clothing' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters cover up or clothe others).
'gorilla' with its middle taken out is 'ga'.
'lend' put into 'ga' is 'GLENDA'.
(Other definitions for glenda that I've seen before include "- - Jackson, Hampstead MP" , "--- Jackson, Br. actress" , "-- Jackson, actress and former MP" , "Girl" .)
