Restore ecstasy enjoyed by Hindu queen and consort (9)
I believe the answer is:
reanimate
'consort' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'restore ecstasy enjoyed by hindu queen' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is found within the answer.
'queen' could be 'rani' (historical term for a Hindu queen) and 'rani' is located in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'me' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reanimate that I've seen before include "Get excited again" , "put new life in him!" .)
