privacy

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

'the place to yourself?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'expensive to go round va' is the wordplay.
'expensive' becomes 'pricy' (similar in meaning).
'to go round' indicates putting letters inside.
'pricy' enclosing 'va' is 'PRIVACY'.

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for privacy that I've seen before include "Seclusion; not being interrupted" , "Freedom from public attention" , "Personal moments" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
