Scout leader getting long way with pleasant look (5)
I believe the answer is:
smile
'look' is the definition.
(I know that smile is a type of look)
'scout leader getting long way' is the wordplay.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'long way' becomes 'mile'.
The initial letter of 'scout' is 's'.
's'+'mile'='SMILE'
'with pleasant' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smile that I've seen before include "Look happy" , "Pleased expression" , "Facial expression showing pleasure" , "Show amusement or pleasure" , "express pleasure" .)
