Headwear for skeletons? (9)
I believe the answer is:
skullcaps
'headwear for skeletons?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'headwear for skeletons?' is the wordplay.
'headwear' becomes 'caps'.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'skeletons?' becomes 'skull' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'caps' put after 'skull' is 'SKULLCAPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
