I'm afraid I can't explain this answer.

(Other definitions for waugh that I've seen before include "Evelyn ..... wrote 'Brideshead Revisited'" , "SECOND PART OF 19 down" , "Evelyn --, English author" , "Evelyn -, twentieth century English novelist" , "See 4 Down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
