Go over part of transverse beam (10)
I believe the answer is:
crosspiece
'transverse beam' is the definition.
(beam of wood)
'go over part' is the wordplay.
'go over' becomes 'cross' (to cross over).
'part' becomes 'piece' (piece is a kind of part).
'cross'+'piece'='CROSSPIECE'
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for crosspiece that I've seen is " Beam".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
