Idiot on Love Island enters safe space (5)
I believe the answer is:
oasis
'safe space' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'idiot on love island enters' is the wordplay.
'idiot' becomes 'ass' (both can mean a stupid person).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'enters' indicates putting letters inside.
'ass' put after 'o' is 'oass'.
'oass' going around 'i' is 'OASIS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "place of relief" , "Place of calm in troubled times" , "Place of rest in the midst of gloom" , "Fertile spot in desert" , "Band with Liam and Noel Gallagher" .)
