Oversupply with eats (4)
I believe the answer is:
sate
'oversupply' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'eats' is the wordplay.
'eats' anagrams to 'SATE'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sate that I've seen before include "Glut" , "Satisfy - surfeit" , "Quench" , "Fill totally" , "Supply to excess" .)
