Perhaps Barker and I will find love in a courtyard (5)

I believe the answer is:

patio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'courtyard' is the definition.
(a patio is an outdoor space or courtyard)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for patio that I've seen before include "Where Barbie might be held" , "Paved area beside house, often in back garden" , "yard" , "Spanish courtyard" , "Place to sit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
