Posh place for dad to do up (6)
I believe the answer is:
palace
'do up' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'posh place for dad' is the wordplay.
'posh place' becomes 'lace' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'lace' put after 'pa' is 'PALACE'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Royal building" , "Royal residence" , "Regal mansion" , "Grand building" , "Royal mansion" .)
