Headgear of daughter taken by one in hand (7)
I believe the answer is:
bandana
'headgear of daughter taken' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'one in hand' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'an' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hand' becomes 'banda' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an' placed into 'banda' is 'BANDANA'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bandana that I've seen before include "Brightly coloured neckerchief" , "Coloured square worn around the head or neck" , "Large coloured neckerchief" , "Large ornamental neckerchief" , "Handkerchief worn round the head or neck" .)
