One working in club, working for a bit of pride? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
lion cub
'a bit of pride?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'one working in club working' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'working' becomes 'on'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'on'='ion'
'club' with letters rearranged gives 'lcub'.
'ion' going within 'lcub' is 'LION-CUB'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lion cub that I've seen before include "Young pride member" , "Young big cat" , "Creature" , "Elsa's offspring possibly (Born Free)" , "Baby feline" .)
