Regularly call funny Welshman (4)
I believe the answer is:
alun
'welshman' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'regularly call funny' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'call'+'funny'='callfunny'
The alternate letters of 'callfunny' are 'ALUN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
