Edict from City Desk goes over one's head (3)
I believe the answer is:
sky
'over one's head' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'edict from city desk goes' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'goes' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'went' mean this ('go' can mean move)).
'city'+'desk'='citydesk'
'citydesk' with 'edict' taken away is 'ysk'.
'ysk' with letters rearranged gives 'SKY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sky that I've seen before include "Hit high into the air" , "Outer space viewed from earth" , "Firmament" , "Orbiting space-station" , "-- Blue" .)
