Lovely fun taking lady for date (6)
I believe the answer is:
comely
'lovely' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'fun taking lady for date' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'lady' could be 'mel' and 'mel' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'coy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comely that I've seen before include "Fair (but not lovely!)" , "Old word for good-looking, say a lass" , "Good-looking, old usage as of maiden" , "Quite good-looking" , "Old word for good-looking, perhaps a maiden" .)
