Louis not prepared to give answers (8)
I believe the answer is:
solution
'give answers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'louis not prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'louis'+'not'='louisnot'
'louisnot' anagrammed gives 'SOLUTION'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for solution that I've seen before include "A mixture of liquid substances is the answer" , "Drink" , "13 across" , "compound" , "Puzzle's answer" .)
