Places frequented by hot-headed women (6)
I believe the answer is:
haunts
'places frequented' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'by hot-headed women' is the wordplay.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'hot' becomes 'h' (common abbreviation eg on taps).
'headed women' becomes 'aunts' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'h' put next to 'aunts' is 'HAUNTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haunts that I've seen before include "Inhabits as a ghost" , "Places frequented" , "Places where ghosts hang out?" , "Frequently visited places, hangouts" , "Frequents or visits as a ghost" .)
