A large youth taking pint round for singer (9)
I believe the answer is:
balladeer
'for singer' is the definition.
(someone singing ballads)
'a large youth taking pint round' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'youth' becomes 'lad' (lad means a young man).
'taking pint' becomes 'beer' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'taking' bit.).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'a'+'l'+'lad'='allad'
'allad' put inside 'beer' is 'BALLADEER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for balladeer that I've seen before include "One sings" , "pop singer" , "Minstrel" , "One making a song" .)
