Humble place for which a hothead has a strange love (5)
I believe the answer is:
hovel
'humble place' is the definition.
'hovel' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'wretched place' mean 'hovel' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'hovel'). I am unsure of the 'humble' bit.
'a hothead has a strange love' is the wordplay.
'a hothead' becomes 'h' (head letter of 'hot').
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'a strange' indicates an anagram.
'love' with letters rearranged gives 'ovel'.
'h'+'ovel'='HOVEL'
'for which' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hovel that I've seen before include "Crude dwelling" , "Poor dwelling place" , "Dimly illuminated" , "Wretched building" , "Shack" .)
