Garden worker adopting couple of articles separately as protection from sun? (8)
I believe the answer is:
headgear
'garden' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headgear that I've seen before include "crown, say" , "Trilby e.g" , "Mortarboard < , especially" , "Hats, helmets etc." , "Perhaps a hat" .)
