Be careful! That’s the girl I always take out! (6)
I believe the answer is:
steady
'out' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'be careful that's the girl i always' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is found within the answer.
'girl' could be 'edy' and 'edy' is present in the remaining letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'take' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steady that I've seen before include "Stable - companion" , "Stable and reliable" , "On an even keel" , "Motionless" , "Stable, not shaky" .)
