Run out and look around for central heating (5)
I believe the answer is:
peter
'central heating' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'run out and look around' is the wordplay.
'run out' becomes 'pete' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'look' becomes 'pry' (prying is a kind of looking).
'around' means to look at the middle letters.
The centre of 'pry' is 'r'.
'pete'+'r'='PETER'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "Boy's name - safe" , "and 14 dn Latest actor to play Doctor Who" , "Dwindle away to nothing" , "Play high card before low" , "Saint's name" .)
