Little chap less than resolute? (3)
I believe the answer is:
sol
'little chap' is the definition.
'Sol' can be an answer for 'chap'. I am not certain of the 'little' bit.
'less than resolute?' is the wordplay.
'less' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue less some of the letters in it).
'SOL' is hidden in the letters of 'than resolute'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sol that I've seen before include "Fifth note of scale" , "Spanish and poetic sun" , "The sun in Spain" , "Note; Peruvian currency" , "Peruvian currency; Roman sun god" .)
