King or queen, for example, on in a little while? (6)
I believe the answer is:
honour
'king or queen for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'on in a little while?' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a little while?' becomes 'hour' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' placed inside 'hour' is 'HONOUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for honour that I've seen before include "Show respect towards, parents say" , "Respect; eg OBE" , "prestigious award" , "Personal integrity" , "Deference or accolade." .)
