Maybe fresher dosshouse cleaned out in daring act (7)
I believe the answer is:
student
'maybe fresher' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dosshouse cleaned out in daring act' is the wordplay.
'cleaned out' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'daring act' becomes 'stunt' (stunt is a kind of act. I am not sure about the 'daring' bit.).
'dosshouse' with its centre taken out is 'de'.
'de' put into 'stunt' is 'STUDENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for student that I've seen before include "Maybe fresher" , "One at university" , "University attendee" , "Eg, undergraduate" , "Learner, pupil" .)
