Posh place for dad to do up (6)
I believe the answer is:
palace
'posh place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'dad to do up' is the wordplay.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'to do up' becomes 'lace' (as in doing up your shoelaces).
'pa'+'lace'='PALACE'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for palace that I've seen before include "Royal building" , "Royal residence" , "Regal mansion" , "Grand building" , "Royal mansion" .)
