Partitioned area for youngster with lice problem (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cubicle
'partitioned area' is the definition.
'cubicle' can be an answer for 'area' (cubicle is a kind of area). I am not certain of the 'partitioned' bit.
'youngster with lice problem' is the wordplay.
'youngster' becomes 'cub' (cub can mean a young person).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'problem' is an anagram indicator.
'lice' anagrammed gives 'icle'.
'cub'+'icle'='CUBICLE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cubicle that I've seen before include "Small partitioned-off area" , "bay" , "Booth - kiosk" , "Small room for special use" , "Enclosed section of room" .)
