Look around, boy! (5)
I believe the answer is:
scout
'boy' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'look around' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'around' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'scut' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scout that I've seen before include "Person on the lookout" , "One searches for and recruits talented people" , "Information-gathering soldier" , "Reconnoitre" , "Soldier on a reconnaissance mission" .)
