Buried in breadfruit, chrysalides are dying (4)
I believe the answer is:
itch
'are dying' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'buried in breadfruit chrysalides' is the wordplay.
'buried in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ITCH' can be found hidden inside 'breadfruit chrysalides'.
(Other definitions for itch that I've seen before include "Tingle" , "Restless longing" , "great desire" , "Long" , "It needs scratching" .)
