I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'house the boss here temporarily' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'as narc oddly went berserk' is the wordplay.
'berserk' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'as'+'narc'+'oddly'+'went'='asnarcoddlywent'
'asnarcoddlywent' with letters rearranged gives 'NEW SCOTLAND YARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for new scotland yard that I've seen before include "police HQ" , "A place for pigs!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
