Somehow learn about books, light to carry (7)
I believe the answer is:
lantern
'light to carry' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'somehow learn about books' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'books' becomes 'NT' (abbreviation for New Testament).
'learn' is an anagram of 'laern'.
'laern' placed around 'nt' is 'LANTERN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lantern that I've seen before include "Enclosed light" , "Top of lighthouse" , "Transparent case for candle" , "Cased lamp" , "outside D [DECORATION]" .)
