Bacon brought home as yet unslaughtered? (6)
I believe the answer is:
living
'bacon' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'home as yet unslaughtered?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'brought' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for living that I've seen before include "sustenance" , "Quick; benefice" , "19 of London, or 25 of Africa?" , "Extant" , "parish" .)
