daily

'centre' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'she does flirt with one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'daly' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'at' is the link.
