Where there's a steady job for a lad? (6)
I believe the answer is:
stable
'where there's a steady job for a lad?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stable that I've seen before include "Solid" , "Steady, unchanging" , "Horse's house" , "'Firmly fixed, not moving (6)'" , "Firm and dependable" .)
