Give woman gun in flotilla (6)
I believe the answer is:
armada
'flotilla' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Large flotilla' mean 'armada' so perhaps 'flotilla' could also mean 'armada')
'give woman gun' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'woman' could be 'ada' and 'ada' is present in the answer.
'gun' could be 'arm' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'arm' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for armada that I've seen before include "Fleet Drake defeated" , "vessels" , "A great fleet - Spain had one" , "1588 sea battle" , "Spanish war fleet" .)
