Connection to new wife outside Germany (6)
I believe the answer is:
bridge
'connection' is the definition.
(I know that bridge is a type of connection)
'new wife outside germany' is the wordplay.
'new wife' becomes 'bride'.
'outside' is an insertion indicator.
'germany' becomes 'g' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'bride' going around 'g' is 'BRIDGE'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bridge that I've seen before include "Four-handed card game" , "Where the ship is steered and the captain stands" , "pontoon, perhaps" , "Game; crossing" , "played by a quartet" .)
