What the stove's for in the attic (4)
I believe the answer is:
heat
'what the stove's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in the attic' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HEAT' can be found hidden inside 'the attic'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heat that I've seen before include "early round" , "Raise temperature" , "Level of spice" , "It's measured in therms" , "Get agitated" .)
