rigel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'star' is the definition.
(star in the constellation Orion)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for rigel that I've seen before include "Orion's brightest star" , "shiner" , "Brightest star in Orion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
