Praise everybody getting university involved in Charles Lamb (8)
I believe the answer is:
alleluia
'praise' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'everybody getting university involved in charles lamb' is the wordplay.
'everybody' becomes 'all' (all people).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation for university).
'involved in' indicates putting letters inside.
'charles lamb' becomes 'elia' (I've seen this in another clue).
'u' inserted within 'elia' is 'eluia'.
'all'+'eluia'='ALLELUIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alleluia that I've seen before include "God be praised" , "Exclamation of praise" , "Liturgical shout of praise" , "Shout or song in praise of God" , "Interjection meaning praise to God, from Hebrew" .)
