Photograph held back by police if lesions? (6)
I believe the answer is:
selfie
'photograph' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'held back by police if lesions?' is the wordplay.
'back by' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'held' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'eifles' can be found hidden inside 'police if lesions'.
'eifles' back-to-front is 'SELFIE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for selfie that I've seen before include "Personal photo" , "21 [PHOTO]" .)
