Youth gets labour beyond, at the centre (4)
I believe the answer is:
boyo
'youth' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'labour beyond at the centre' is the wordplay.
'labour' becomes 'boy' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'beyond' becomes 'above'.
'at the centre' indicates the central letters.
The middle letter of 'above' is 'o'.
'boy'+'o'='BOYO'
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boyo that I've seen before include "Irish man (colloq.)" , "Welsh or Irish term of address" , "lad in Cardiff maybe" , "Welsh term addressing young man" , "son of the valleys" .)
