Friendliness engendered by dancing on the ends of podium alongside himbo (9)
I believe the answer is:
bonhommie
'friendliness engendered' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'dancing on the ends of podium alongside himbo' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates an anagram.
'the ends of' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'end of' mean this).
The last letters of 'podium alongside' are 'me'.
'on'+'me'+'himbo'='onmehimbo'
'onmehimbo' with letters rearranged gives 'BONHOMMIE'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
