Court date ending for Lily Allen perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
woody
'allen perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'court date ending for lily' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'date' becomes 'd' (abbreviation e.g. dob - date of birth).
'ending' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'for lily' becomes 'y' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'woo'+'d'+'y'='WOODY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for woody that I've seen before include "Built like a tree" , "with lots of wainscotting" , "Covered with trees" , "of deal?" .)
