Bard's trick, capturing a Trojan lover (9)
I believe the answer is:
caparison
'bard's' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'trick capturing a trojan lover' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'con' (a con is a fraud or trick).
'capturing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'trojan lover' becomes 'paris' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'paris'='aparis'
'con' going around 'aparis' is 'CAPARISON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caparison that I've seen before include "covering for the Shires?" , "sumptuous clothing" , "horse's cover" , "Ornamental covering over a horse's saddle or harness" , "Rich clothing" .)
