Deceive lover - in light from this? (8)
I believe the answer is:
flambeau
'light from this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'deceive lover' is the wordplay.
'deceive' becomes 'flam' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lover' becomes 'beau' (beau is a kind of lover).
'flam'+'beau'='FLAMBEAU'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flambeau that I've seen before include "Torch; candlestick" , "Burning torch" , "One may be burning" , "Old blazer" , "Flaming torch" .)
