Did Leander call her –duck”? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hero
'did leander call her duck?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'her duck?' is the wordplay.
'duck?' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'her'+'o'='HERO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hero that I've seen before include "Principal male character in a play, movie, novel or poem" , "priestess of Aphrodite" , "Leander's love" , "Man admired for courage and achievement" , "Lion" .)
