Variety of plait seen around one girl’s head? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pigtail
'head?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'variety of plait seen around one girl's' is the wordplay.
'variety of' indicates an anagram.
'seen around' is an insertion indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'girl' becomes 'g'.
'plait' is an anagram of 'ptail'.
'i'+'g'='ig'
'ptail' placed around 'ig' is 'PIGTAIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pigtail that I've seen before include "Porcine hair plait" , "Plait of braided hair" , "Plaited hair style" , "Girl's hair style" , "Queue of hair" .)
