At home, hence girl included in bequest (11)
I believe the answer is:
inheritance
'bequest' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'at home hence girl included' is the wordplay.
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'girl' becomes 'rita' (woman's name).
'included' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hence' placed around 'rita' is 'heritance'.
'in'+'heritance'='INHERITANCE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for inheritance that I've seen before include "Things handed down" , "Item received through a will" , "Something received through a will" , "target of 17, 8 [CHANCELLORS STATEMENT]" , "What is bequeathed" .)
