New student giving more cheek? (7)
I believe the answer is:
fresher
This clue might be a double definition.
'new student' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'more cheek?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'giving' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fresher that I've seen before include "First-year university student" , "More disrespectful" , "new boy at college" , "More familiar" , "First-year college student" .)
