Bats in a building - don't touch them (7)
I believe the answer is:
abstain
'don't touch them' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'bats in a building' is the wordplay.
'building' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bats'+'in'+'a'='batsina'
'batsina' is an anagram of 'ABSTAIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abstain that I've seen before include "Deny oneself" , "'Refrain from, voting or eating, say (7)'" , "Hold off" , "Give up smoking, say" , "Refrain (from drink)" .)
