Scuttle with husband over foot of pyramid (3)
I believe the answer is:
hod
'scuttle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'husband over foot of pyramid' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'foot of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'pyramid' is 'd'.
'h'+'o'+'d'='HOD'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for hod that I've seen before include "Brick-layer's tool" , "Open trough for carrying bricks" , "Brick-carrier's holder" , "Brick carrier of shoddy type" , "Coal-scuttle" .)
