Gold parts most womanly, like thighs (7)
I believe the answer is:
femoral
'like thighs' is the definition.
(I know this)
'gold parts most womanly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'gold' could be 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold) and 'or' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for femoral that I've seen before include "Of the thigh artery" , "Lor, fame can relate to the thigh" , "Of or near the thighbone" , "Relating to the thigh bone" .)
