Pressure on a youth with nothing to hide? (4)
I believe the answer is:
load
'pressure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'youth with nothing to hide?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'youth' could be 'lad' (lad means a young man) and 'lad' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for load that I've seen before include "A heavy burden" , "Weight, source of pressure" , "Great quantity" , "Amount" , "that's put on commercial vehicle" .)
