This is boring fan -- or a kagoule? (6)
I believe the answer is:
anorak
'this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'boring fan or a kagoule?' is the wordplay.
'boring' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the solution has bored or cut into the clue).
'ANORAK' can be found hidden inside 'fan or a kagoule'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anorak that I've seen before include "trainspotter" , "good on most figures?" , "Waterproof - unfashionable person" , "Raincoat" , "geek" .)
