Scoundrel receiving award from Queen leads to trouble (6)
I believe the answer is:
cumber
'queen leads to trouble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'scoundrel receiving award' is the wordplay.
'scoundrel' becomes 'cur' (cur can mean a despicable person).
'receiving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'award' becomes 'MBE' (Member of the British Empire).
'cur' enclosing 'mbe' is 'CUMBER'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cumber that I've seen before include "Get in the way of" , "Impede" , "Hinder" .)
