Opposite of stag, in a sense (3)
I believe the answer is:
hen
This could be a double definition.
'opposite' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'stag in a sense' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hen that I've seen before include "Insufficient in amount" , "Female bird" , "Farm bird" , "Source of eggs" , "Laying bird" .)
