Has two meals provided to some of the panel (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
half board
'panel' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'has two meals provided to some of the' is the wordplay.
'has two' becomes 'alf' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'meals' becomes 'board' (I've seen this in another clue).
'provided to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'some of' says to take the centre (I've seen 'some' mean this).
The centre of 'the' is 'h'.
'alf'+'board'='alfboard'
'alfboard' after 'h' is 'HALF-BOARD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for half board that I've seen before include "pension arrangement" , "hotel regime" , "Dinner, bed and breakfast" , "Bed, breakfast and evening meal" , "Bed, breakfast and one main meal" .)
