Playing leapfrog, female ignored climbing-frame in garden (7)
I believe the answer is:
pergola
'climbing-frame in garden' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'playing leapfrog female ignored' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'ignored' is a deletion indicator.
'leapfrog' with 'f' taken away is 'leaprog'.
'leaprog' with letters rearranged gives 'PERGOLA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pergola that I've seen before include "This'll support climbers" , "Trellis-covered walk" , "Garden climbing-frame" , "Arch for garden plants" , "Garden support" .)
