Be left at home with husband with tax going up (7)
I believe the answer is:
inherit
'be left' is the definition.
(to inherit something is to be left it)
'home with husband with tax going up' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' (abbreviation) and 'h' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Receive as heir" , "Come into (money)" , "Gain by succession" , "Be bequeathed" , "Receive as bequest from will" .)
