Might she be bowled over? (6)
I believe the answer is:
maiden
'might' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'she be bowled over?' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'nedi' ().
'be' becomes 'am'.
'bowled over?' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'bowled over' mean this).
'nedi'+'am'='nediam'
'nediam' in reverse letter order is 'MAIDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maiden that I've seen before include "Unmated; runless over" , "I named (anag) - young woman" , "First (speech)" , "No runs for the unmarried lady's over" , "Miss" .)
