vegasmad- Could you please explain how it is worked out? Very grateful in advance, Bea :-)

Yes, gate is an entrance yet how does this fit in with rest of clue? Mtia :-)
Question Author
Penny has just dropped ;-) Spats are gaiters :-)
one = i
entrance=gate
right =r

GAITER = a cloth covering or spat.
gate = entrance one = i, right = r (ga i te r)

a gaiter is a spat.

Thanks guys- Realised, penny dropped almost as soon as asked question. Was thinking of Spat as in Quarrel not as in type of Gaiter hence thought of Gripes. Anyhow, when realised that they meant spat as in the spats men wore on their shoes/around ankles realised that Gaiter was right + understood clue fully. Anyway, do very much appreciate your help + have a lovely day + please please enjoy some of the sunshine :-) Ciao, Bea :-)
