Provide info for student inhibited by signal at home (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
clue in
'provide info' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'student inhibited by signal at home' is the wordplay.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'inhibited by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'signal' becomes 'cue' (as in an actor's cue).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'l' placed into 'cue' is 'clue'.
'clue'+'in'='CLUE IN'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for clue in that I've seen is " Inform".)
