Flock manager for that woman's spider? (6)
I believe the answer is:
herder
'flock manager' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'that woman's spider?' is the wordplay.
'that woman' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'spider?' becomes 'der' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'her'+'der'='HERDER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for herder that I've seen before include "Arab tribal leader" , "Controller of cattle" .)
