Near feeling of excitement consuming a winger (11)
I believe the answer is:
nightingale
'winger' is the definition.
(nightingale is a kind of bird)
'near feeling of excitement consuming a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'near' could be 'nigh' (similar in meaning) and 'nigh' is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'feeling' could be 'tingle' (tingle is a kind of feeling) and 'tingle' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nightingale that I've seen before include "one tweets" , "See 13" , "Subject of 11 [ODE]" , "Celebrated songbird" , "Melodious songbird" .)
