One in a stable job? (3)
I believe the answer is:
lad
'job?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'one in a stable' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a stable' becomes 'ld' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a' going inside 'ld' is 'LAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lad that I've seen before include "Stable worker" , "Boy, familiar" , "Stable employee" , "Chap, fellow" , "Boy, young man" .)
