Describe food store: elegant and English (9)
I believe the answer is:
delineate
'describe' is the definition.
('delineate' can be a synonym of 'describe')
'food store elegant and english' is the wordplay.
'food store' becomes 'deli' (I've seen this before).
'elegant' becomes 'neat' ('neat' can be similar in meaning to 'elegant').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'deli'+'neat'+'e'='DELINEATE'
(Other definitions for delineate that I've seen before include "Sketch" , "Trace" , "Portray precisely - teen ideal (anag)" , "Precisely describe" , "Outline" .)
