P-plea is anagram of apple-- crab apple. Crab is the Cancer sign.

In heraldry, ordinary is 'any of the simplest and commonest charges, such as the BEND or cross.'.

Good afternoon, John.
10ac. Definition - synonym of "imitation / fake".
Take a Scottish county / region (5)
replace the letters "an" with an abbreviation for a sweat-related hygiene problem.........
18d. Definition - synonym of "wayward",
Synonym of "windward" (relative direction) (2)
+ Synonym of "feel for" (4)
Hoping this helps!
