A name to look out for around the West End (5)
I believe the answer is:
peter
'a name' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'look out for around the west end' is the wordplay.
'look out' becomes 'pete' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'around' becomes 're' (regarding).
'the west end' indicates taking half (the half on the left or west).
're' halved is 'r'.
'pete'+'r'='PETER'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "prison cell" , "Saint at the Pearly Gates?" , "emperor" , "Sir - - Ustinov" , "Saint's name" .)
