Ross

corfu

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

'popular holiday destination' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'caught four out' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'four' anagrammed gives 'orfu'.
'c'+'orfu'='CORFU'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for corfu that I've seen before include "holiday destination?" , "Greece's 'Kerkyra'" , "Greeks here?" , "One of the Ionian islands" , "Major holiday island off west coast of Greece" .)
