British naval man opposite to a landlady? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
sea lord
'a landlady?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'british naval man opposite' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'man' could be 'eal' and 'eal' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sord' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sea lord that I've seen before include "Naval officer sitting on Admiralty Board" , "Senior RN officer" , "Cornwell's title" , "canvas-climber who can climb no higher" .)
