I believe the answer is:
peg
'margaret' is the definition.
(nickname for someone called Margaret)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peg that I've seen before include "Wire tensioner" , "Wooden or plastic pin for hanging clothes" , "Small dowel" , "Clip for hanging washing" , "Member" .)
