Group with girl in headscarf (8)
I believe the answer is:
bandanna
'headscarf' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'group with girl' is the wordplay.
'group' becomes 'band' (band can mean a group of people).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'girl' becomes 'anna' ().
'band'+'anna'='BANDANNA'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bandanna that I've seen before include "coloured cloth" , "Large brightly-coloured handkerchief or neckerchief (variant spelling)" , "Large coloured handkerchief" , "Brightly colored headgear" , "Large and brightly coloured neckerchief" .)
