I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'extra accommodation' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'queen putting up former husband?' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'anne' (Queen Anne, 18th-century queen).
'putting up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'former husband?' becomes 'ex' (an ex-husband).
'ex' written backwards gives 'xe'.
'anne'+'xe'='ANNEXE'

'for' is the link.
