Army given rations made to consume (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
force-fed
'rations made to consume' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'army given' is the wordplay.
'army' becomes 'force' (I've seen this before).
'given' becomes 'fed' ('feed' can be a synonym of 'give').
'force'+'fed'='FORCE-FED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for force-fed that I've seen is " Made to eat food".)
I've seen this clue in The Sun.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
