Insect queen turned part of its head? (7)
I believe the answer is:
antenna
'its head?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'insect queen turned' is the wordplay.
'insect' becomes 'ant' (ant is a kind of insect).
'queen' becomes 'anne' (Queen Anne, 18th-century queen).
'turned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'anne' written backwards gives 'enna'.
'ant'+'enna'='ANTENNA'
'part of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antenna that I've seen before include "What detects signals" , "could send out a message" , "one feels" , "Aerial - insect feeler" , "receiver" .)
