Female honoured brewed mead (4)
I believe the answer is:
dame
'female' is the definition.
(I know that dame is a type of adult female)
'honoured brewed mead' is the wordplay.
'mead' anagrams to 'DAME'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "Cross-dressing panto character" , "Man's panto role" , "See 21" , "Female equivalent of British sir" , "Panto cross-dresser" .)
