Too afraid to name a London cottage (6)
I believe the answer is:
craven
'too afraid' is the definition.
'craven' can be an answer for 'afraid' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'too' bit.
'name a london cottage' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'name' could be 'raven' and 'raven' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for craven that I've seen before include "Cowardly and fearful" , "Contemptibly cowardly" , "Cowardly, spineless" , "Without backbone" , "Cowardly - Yorkshire area" .)
