Please put the lamp out (7)
I believe the answer is:
delight
This clue could be a double definition.
'please' is the first definition.
(I know that please can be written as delight)
'the lamp out' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'put' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for delight that I've seen before include "Extreme satisfaction" , "Pleasure (possibly Turkish?)" , "It could be Turkish" , "Glee; its spirit rare, Shelley" , "Joy" .)
