Run out and look around the end of the street (5)
I believe the answer is:
peter
'run out' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'look around the end of the street' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'peer' (to peer at something is to look at it).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'the end of the' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'street' is 't'.
'peer' enclosing 't' is 'PETER'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "Sir - - Ustinov" , "- Pan, eternal youth" , "emperor" , "Saint at the Pearly Gates?" , "Boy's name - safe" .)
