Misdirect parcel to a partner of Antony (9)
I believe the answer is:
cleopatra
'partner of antony' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'misdirect parcel to a' is the wordplay.
'misdirect' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'misdirected' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'parcel'+'to'='parcelto'
'parcelto' anagrammed gives 'cleopatr'.
'cleopatr'+'a'='CLEOPATRA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleopatra that I've seen before include "beauty of old" , "Poet Clara is a queen" , "Queen of the South" , "See 5" , "Old queen of Egypt" .)
