She provides a happy ending for a young chap (4)
I believe the answer is:
lady
'she' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a happy ending for a young chap' is the wordplay.
'ending' indicates one should take the final letters (the ending of the word).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'a young chap' becomes 'lad' (I've seen this in another clue).
The final letter of 'happy' is 'y'.
'y' after 'lad' is 'LADY'.
'provides' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lady that I've seen before include "Wife of gentleman" , "Female title" , "Lord's wife - peeress's title" , "See 2" , "Title for a knight's wife" .)
