Female accessory in a crash Fed busted (9)
I believe the answer is:
headscarf
'female accessory' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a crash fed busted' is the wordplay.
'busted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'crash'+'fed'='acrashfed'
'acrashfed' is an anagram of 'HEADSCARF'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headscarf that I've seen before include "This may afford some protection" , "adornment for loaf" , "top dressing put on by woman" , "Ladies' garment" .)
