Descendent of male fly found in AE (6)
I believe the answer is:
agnate
'descendent of male' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fly found in ae' is the wordplay.
'fly' becomes 'gnat' (type of insect).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'gnat' put within 'ae' is 'AGNATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for agnate that I've seen before include "Get an A (anag.)" , "Relative" , "Related through male descent on father's side (6)" , "Descended from the same male ancestor" .)
