Father of a cowboy? (6)
I believe the answer is:
cowman
'cowboy?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'father of a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cwm' is a valid word 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 cowman that I've seen before include "Stocky chap" , "Tender of cattle" .)
