Learner's bold about love (7)
I believe the answer is:
darling
'love' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'learner's bold' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'learner' could be 'l' and 'l' is located in the answer.
'bold' could be 'daring' (I've seen this before) and 'daring' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for darling that I've seen before include "Grace -, nineteenth century wreck heroine of lighthouse" , "Victorian heroine" , "Term of affection" , "Favourite" , "Australian river and loved one" .)
