Easily beat teenager, no guts and light weight (7)

I believe the answer is:

trounce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easily beat' is the definition.
'trounce' can be an answer for 'beat' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'easily' bit.

'teenager no guts and light weight' is the wordplay.
'no guts' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the guts of the word are removed).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'light weight' becomes 'ounce' (I've seen this before).
'teenager' with its middle taken out is 'tr'.
'tr'+'ounce'='TROUNCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trounce that I've seen before include "tank" , "Beat thoroughly on recount" , "Beat severely" , "Beat resoundingly" , "Hammer" .)
