... this chap (5)
I believe the answer is:
adair
'this chap' is the definition.
'chap' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'chap' could be 'ad' and 'ad' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'air' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for adair that I've seen is " Robin - - (old song)".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
