Assemble for shindig at hermit's hideaway (6)
I believe the answer is:
gather
'assemble' is the definition.
(I know that assemble can be written as assemble whale)
'shindig at hermit's hideaway' is the wordplay.
'GATHER' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gather that I've seen before include "Assemble; understand" , "Harvest or learn by inference" , "Bring or assemble together" , "Come together for the rag" , "Come/bring together" .)
