Farming staff, pros, shocked unduly about that woman (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
shepherd's crook
'farming' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'staff pros shocked unduly about that woman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'staff' could be 'crook' (crook is a kind of staff) and 'crook' is found in the answer.
'woman' could be 'she' and 'she' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
