a parcel - after removing wrappings, the girl! A sign in the sky (6)
I believe the answer is:
archer
'sign in the sky' is the definition.
'archer' can be an answer for 'sign' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'in the sky' bit.
'a parcel after removing wrappings the girl a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'girl' could be 'cher' and 'cher' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for archer that I've seen before include "more sly?" , "A 19 lord - old soldier" , "Irish parliament" , "Arrows one sends" , "Toxophilite" .)
