Partitioned area for youngster with lice problem (7)

I believe the answer is:

cubicle

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

'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" .)
