Praise everybody getting university involved in Charles Lamb (8)
I believe the answer is:
alleluia
'praise' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'everybody getting university involved in charles lamb' is the wordplay.
'everybody' becomes 'all' (all people).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'involved in' is an insertion indicator.
'charles lamb' becomes 'elia' (I've seen this in another clue).
'u' put within 'elia' is 'eluia'.
'all'+'eluia'='ALLELUIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alleluia that I've seen before include "God be praised" , "Exclamation of praise" , "Liturgical shout of praise" , "Shout or song in praise of God" , "Interjection meaning praise to God, from Hebrew" .)
