Praise a chap for getting out of uniform (4)
I believe the answer is:
laud
'praise' is the definition.
(I know that laud is a more specific form of the action praise)
'a chap for getting out of uniform' is the wordplay.
'a chap for' becomes 'lad' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'getting out of' is an insertion indicator (to be outside something can mean to be around it).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'lad' going around 'u' is 'LAUD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laud that I've seen before include "homage" , "Name of archbishop; praise" , "Praise - celebrate" , "Give praise to" , "Praise, extol" .)
