Silly achievement gets that woman hit over the head (14)
I believe the answer is:
featherbrained
'silly' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'achievement gets that woman hit over the head' is the wordplay.
'achievement' becomes 'feat' (feat is a kind of achievement).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'that woman' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'hit over the head' becomes 'brained'.
'feat'+'her'+'brained'='FEATHERBRAINED'
(Another definition for featherbrained that I've seen is " Dizzy".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
