Welcome to Clueless 513

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue for a given word or phrase.
Multiple entries may be made and new competitors are particularly welcome.

The winner of this week’s competition will set the word to be clued and judge the entries next week.

The judge’s decision is final and reasons may or may not be given. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Clues should be submitted by 8:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday, February 10th. Results and prize-giving will follow an hour or so afterwards.
This week's challenge is:

Please help with parsing if your clue is fiendish or otherwise obscure.
