Adolescent limped: he’s gone over on uncovered toys (11)
I believe the answer is:
hobbledehoy
'adolescent' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'limped he's gone over on uncovered toys' is the wordplay.
'limped' becomes 'hobbled' ('hobble' can be a synonym of 'limp').
'gone over' is a reversal indicator.
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'uncovered' indicates the central letters.
The middle of 'toys' is 'oy'.
'he' in reverse letter order is 'eh'.
'hobbled'+'eh'+'oy'='HOBBLEDEHOY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hobbledehoy that I've seen before include "Awkward youth" , "Clumsy old youth" .)
