Dad gets others round for meal (6)
I believe the answer is:
repast
'meal' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'dad gets others round' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'dad' could be 'pa' (synonyms) and 'pa' is found within the answer.
'others' could be 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rest' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for repast that I've seen before include "A meal concerning time gone by" , "Something to eat" , "Feast, meal" , "lunch?" , "Prates about meal" .)
