No, the Spanish went up for another guy (4)
I believe the answer is:
leon
'another guy' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'no the spanish went up' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'went up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (I've seen 'goes up' mean this).
'no'+'el'='noel'
'noel' in reverse letter order is 'LEON'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leon that I've seen before include "- Trotsky, communist" , "Put up Chrissie" .)
