Extra accommodation for queen putting up former husband? (6)
I believe the answer is:
annexe
'extra accommodation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'queen putting up former husband?' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'anne' (Queen Anne, 18th-century queen).
'putting up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'former husband?' becomes 'ex' (an ex-husband).
'ex' written backwards gives 'xe'.
'anne'+'xe'='ANNEXE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annexe that I've seen before include "Additional building" , "outbuilding" , "Added section of document" , "Extension, supplement" , "Conservatory, e.g." .)
