Deprive of a pension, but few tears are shed about that (6)
I believe the answer is:
starve
'deprive of a pension but few tears are shed about that' is the definition.
'starve' can be an answer for 'deprive' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the remainder of the definition.
'few tears are shed about that' is the wordplay.
'few' becomes 'v'.
'are shed' indicates anagramming the letters (shed can mean to give out or emit).
'about that' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tears' anagrammed gives 'stare'.
'v' put inside 'stare' is 'STARVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starve that I've seen before include "Suffer extreme hunger" , "Go hungry" , "Without wishing, fast" , "Go without food" , "Die from lack of food" .)
