Egg producer to modify duck roosting? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ovary
'egg producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'modify duck roosting?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'modify' could be 'vary' (I've seen this before) and 'vary' is found in the answer.
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ovary that I've seen before include "Female reproductive organ" , "Female organ in which eggs are produced" , "Egg producing organ" , "Part of flower" , "from which monthly release scheduled?" .)
