Tavern by hill has eggs for pioneer (9)
I believe the answer is:
innovator
'for pioneer' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'tavern by hill has eggs' is the wordplay.
'tavern' becomes 'inn' (I've seen this before).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'hill' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of hill).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'eggs' becomes 'ova' (term for egg cells).
'tor' put after 'ova' is 'ovator'.
'inn' next to 'ovator' is 'INNOVATOR'.
(Other definitions for innovator that I've seen before include "Pioneer" , "Fresh thinker" , "Person who devises a new way of doing things" , "new ideas man" , "Maker of change" .)
