Inherited tavern at Evans Head? (6)
I believe the answer is:
innate
'inherited' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'tavern at evans head?' is the wordplay.
'tavern' becomes 'inn' (I've seen this in another clue).
'head?' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'heading' mean this (head could mean the top letter)).
The initial letter of 'evans' is 'e'.
'inn'+'at'+'e'='INNATE'
(Other definitions for innate that I've seen before include "quite natural" , "native" , "'Inborn, not learned (6)'" , "Congenital" , "instinctive ..." .)
