Where dad could sail around on the floor? (6)
I believe the answer is:
palais
'where dad' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'sail around on the floor?' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the floor?' becomes 'pa' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sail' anagrammed gives 'lais'.
'lais' after 'pa' is 'PALAIS'.
'could' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for palais that I've seen is " dance-hall".)
