Bothersome kid mostly detained by brave individual (7)
I believe the answer is:
hellion
'bothersome kid' is the definition.
(informal term for a misbehaving child)
'mostly detained by brave individual' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'detained' becomes 'held' (I've seen this before).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'brave individual' becomes 'lion' (lion is a kind of individual. I am not sure about the 'brave' bit.).
'held' with its final letter taken away is 'hel'.
'hel'+'lion'='HELLION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hellion that I've seen before include "Rowdy or mischievous person" , "Person fond of devilry, trouble-maker" .)
