Where to put the cash for having lit up Leatherhead (4)
I believe the answer is:
till
'where to put the cash for' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'lit up leatherhead' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'leatherhead' becomes 'l' (head letter of 'leather').
'lit' with letters rearranged gives 'til'.
'til'+'l'='TILL'
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for till that I've seen before include "Drawer holding money in shop." , "Cash machine" , "Prepare land for cultivation by ploughing etc" , "Money receptacle" , "Work on farm" .)
