A man has to cultivate one, but a woman will wear it (8)
I believe the answer is:
mantilla
'a woman will wear it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a man has to cultivate one' is the wordplay.
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'to cultivate' becomes 'till' (I've seen this before).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'man'+'till'+'a'='MANTILLA'
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mantilla that I've seen before include "Lace veil worn on head by Spanish women" , "Silk or lace headdress" , "Spanish lace shawl" , "covering for the head" , "Short lace veil" .)
