Crossword Genius

Chap admitted to A&E gets home (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abode

'home' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'chap admitted to ae' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'bod' (I've seen this in other clues).
'admitted to' indicates putting letters inside.
'bod' going within 'ae' is 'ABODE'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Dwelling, residence" , "House made of adobe" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "Place of residence" , "Home or domicile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
