Learnt complex feature of some deer (6)
I believe the answer is:
antler
'feature of some deer' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'learnt complex' is the wordplay.
'complex' indicates anagramming the letters.
'learnt' anagrammed gives 'ANTLER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antler that I've seen before include "Deer-horn" , "Stag horn" , "Branch" , "Horn maybe of 24" , "One on stag's head" .)
