Be out of it getting something to eat (4)
I believe the answer is:
bite
'eat' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'be out of it getting something' is the wordplay.
'out of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'out' mean this).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'something' becomes 'it' (both can refer to an object).
'be' with its last letter removed is 'b'.
'e' after 'it' is 'ite'.
'b'+'ite'='BITE'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bite that I've seen before include "Injury from teeth" , "Grip; take effect" , "champ" , "Small amount of food" , "Clamp down teeth" .)
