Deadly piece of jewellery? (6)
I believe the answer is:
choker
'jewellery?' is the definition.
(I know that choker is a type of necklace)
'deadly piece' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'piece' could be 'r' (abbreviation for Rook) and 'r' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'choke' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for choker that I've seen before include "Band worn around the neck" , "A high stiff collar or tight-fitting necklace" , "Ornamental neckband." , "Tight necklet - sportsman that wilts under pressure" , "Close-fitting necklace" .)
