Month in which daughter never turned up for start of week (6)
I believe the answer is:
monday
'start of week' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'month in which daughter never turned up' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'may' (May is an example).
'in which' indicates putting letters inside.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'never' becomes 'no' (I've seen this in other clues).
'turned up' is a reversal indicator.
'd'+'no'='dno'
'dno' written backwards gives 'ond'.
'may' going around 'ond' is 'MONDAY'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monday that I've seen before include "First weekday" , "M in MTWTFSS" , "Dynamo (anag.)" , "Start of the working week" , "Week day" .)
