Something heady about Harrow? (6)
I believe the answer is:
boater
'harrow?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'something heady about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'something' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boater that I've seen before include "Hard flat straw hat, or person on water" , "Hat style" , "(Of exercise) improving oxygen intake" , "Flat-topped straw hat" , "Sailor's straw hat" .)
