Going out of turn, Peter can make a name (6)
I believe the answer is:
repute
'a name' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'going out of turn peter can' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn) and 'u' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'peter' is 'repte' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'make' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repute that I've seen before include "State of high regard" , "credit" , "Distinction" , "State of high esteem" , "Generally held opinion" .)
