There’s a fair place for it (3)
I believe the answer is:
fun
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fun that I've seen before include "Enjoyment" , "Light-hearted pleasure" , "Entertaining" , "'Merriment, playfulness (3)'" , "Light-hearted amusement, jollity" .)
