Be left in the air, struggling with no answer (7)
I believe the answer is:
inherit
'be left' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in the air struggling with no answer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Acquire from ancestors" , "Receive under terms of will" , "Receive (as part of estate)" , "Succeed as heir" , "Receive from a deceased parent" .)
