Overbearing woman to target man cunningly (9)
I believe the answer is:
termagant
'overbearing woman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'target man cunningly' is the wordplay.
'cunningly' indicates anagramming the letters (a cunning or tricky form of the letters).
'target'+'man'='targetman'
'targetman' anagrammed gives 'TERMAGANT'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for termagant that I've seen before include "she scolds" , "dragon" , "Witch" , "Aggressive, overbearing woman" , "querulous woman" .)
