Stink over Queen Elizabeth I's bones (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

humeri

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bones' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stink over queen elizabeth i's' is the wordplay.
'stink over' becomes 'hum' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'queen elizabeth' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'hum'+'er'+'i'='HUMERI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for humeri that I've seen before include "Bones from shoulder to elbow, in Latin plural" , "Bones in upper arm from shoulder to elbow" , "Bones form shoulder to elbow" , "Components of arms" , "Upper-arm bones" .)
