Warm feelings leading to embrace around right spot in front of the fire? (9)
I believe the answer is:
hearthrug
'in front of the fire?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'warm feelings leading to embrace around right spot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'ar' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ar' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hearthrug that I've seen before include "floor-covering" , "One floored by blaze" , "one's position's under fire" , "Mat near fire" , "Carpet by fireplace" .)
