Coin to steal self-centredly? (6)
I believe the answer is:
nickel
'coin' is the definition.
(I know that nickel is a type of coin)
'steal self-centredly?' is the wordplay.
'steal' becomes 'nick' (nick can informally mean to steal).
'self-centredly?' becomes 'el' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'nick'+'el'='NICKEL'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nickel that I've seen before include "Metal - 5 cents" , "US 5 cents" , "Metal; five US cents" , "American 5-cent piece" , "US coin worth five cents" .)
