Naughty lads can create one (7)
I believe the answer is:
scandal
'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'naughty lads can' is the wordplay.
'naughty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lads'+'can'='ladscan'
'ladscan' with letters rearranged gives 'SCANDAL'.
'create' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scandal that I've seen before include "Malicious talk; outrage" , "Disgraceful event" , "something injurious to one's reputation" , "Shocking thing" , "subject for play school" .)
