Charming individual from Soho with time off (8)
I believe the answer is:
smoothie
'charming individual' is the definition.
'smoothie' can be an answer for 'individual' (smoothie is a kind of individual). I'm not sure about the 'charming' bit.
'soho with time off' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'off' indicates an anagram.
'soho' put after 'time' is 'timesoho'.
'timesoho' anagrammed gives 'SMOOTHIE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smoothie that I've seen before include "Smarmy type" , "Drink of pureed fresh fruit with yoghurt or milk" , "Sweet talker" , "cold and thick" , "Drink made with pureed fruit" .)
