Henpecked husband's stable inmate? (3)
I believe the answer is:
nag
This clue might be a double definition.
'henpecked husband's stable' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'inmate?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nag that I've seen before include "The horse to annoy continually" , "Remind constantly" , "Ailing horse" , "Henpeck like old horse" , "Constantly scold - small horse" .)
