Unexpected win associated with a monk’s blood relation (9)
I believe the answer is:
kinswoman
'blood relation' is the definition.
'kinswoman' can be an answer for 'relation' (kinswoman is a kind of relation). I'm unsure of the 'blood' bit.
'unexpected win associated with a monk's' is the wordplay.
'unexpected' is an anagram indicator.
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a' put after 'monks' is 'monksa'.
'win'+'monksa'='winmonksa'
'winmonksa' is an anagram of 'KINSWOMAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kinswoman that I've seen before include "Relation" , "one of the family!" , "Female relative" , "Female family member" .)
