Beauty of headland, at first light (8)
I believe the answer is:
fairness
'beauty' is the definition.
(I know that fairness is a type of beauty)
'headland at first light' is the wordplay.
'headland' becomes 'ness' (both can mean a promontory).
'at' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'first light' becomes 'fair' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'first' bit.).
'ness' put after 'fair' is 'FAIRNESS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fairness that I've seen before include "Beauty - justice" , "Equity, justice" , "Equality" , "Impartiality, justice" , "the fine, dry state of the weather" .)
