Some Dutchman’s name for a panel truck (3)
I believe the answer is:
van
'panel truck' is the definition.
'van' can be an answer for 'truck' (van is a kind of truck). I am unsure of the 'panel' bit.
'some dutchman's name for a' is the wordplay.
'some dutchman's name' becomes 'v' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a' becomes 'an'.
'v'+'an'='VAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for van that I've seen before include "sometimes seen beside dyke" , "Leading military units" , "Covered wagon" , "Trade vehicle" , "Leading group" .)
