you

'one' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'half an hour at the end of the day' is the wordplay.
'half an hour' becomes 'ou' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'day' is 'y'.
'ou' after 'y' is 'YOU'.

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
