Yahoo accepts sanction over viewpoint (7)
I believe the answer is:
lookout
'viewpoint' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'yahoo accepts sanction over' is the wordplay.
'yahoo' becomes 'lout' (I've seen this before).
'accepts' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'sanction' becomes 'OK' (to OK something is to approve or sanction it).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'ok'+'o'='oko'
'lout' placed around 'oko' is 'LOOKOUT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lookout that I've seen before include "View" , "Watching person" , "Outlook for sentry" , "Beware - keep a sharp eye open" , "Nightwatchman" .)
