Shakespearean lieutenant with a pie ordered for queen (10)
I believe the answer is:
cassiopeia
'queen' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'shakespearean lieutenant with a pie ordered' is the wordplay.
'shakespearean lieutenant' becomes 'cassio' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'shakespearean' bit.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ordered' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'pie'='apie'
'apie' is an anagram of 'peia'.
'cassio'+'peia'='CASSIOPEIA'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cassiopeia that I've seen before include "heavenly figure" , "Northern constellation with five bright stars in a W shape" , "Stellar group" .)
