Agnes gets home with heavy heart (5)
I believe the answer is:
nesta
'agnes' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'home with heavy heart' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'nest' (a bird's home).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'heart' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle letter of 'heavy' is 'a'.
'nest'+'a'='NESTA'
'gets' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nesta that I've seen before include "woman" , "girl" .)
