Bit of an ingrate? (3)
I believe the answer is:
rat
'bit of an ingrate?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'of an ingrate?' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RAT' is hidden within 'ingrate'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rat that I've seen before include "Long-tailed rodent" , "Rodent pest" , "one escaping doomed vessel?" , "one who betrayed" , "Unpleasant character" .)
