Knightly code to shout, greeting girl inside (8)
I believe the answer is:
chivalry
'knightly code' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'shout greeting girl inside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'greeting' could be 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting) and 'hi' is present in the answer.
'girl' could be 'valry' and 'valry' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'c' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chivalry that I've seen before include "Knightliness" , "Gentlemanliness" , "Code of behaviour followed by medieval knights" , "Gallantry" , "Knightly code of honour" .)
