Desire left, over booze and golf (7)
I believe the answer is:
longing
'desire' is the definition.
(I know that longing is a type of desire)
'left over booze and golf' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'over' could be 'on' (physically on top of) and 'on' is located in the answer.
'booze' could be 'gin' (gin is a kind of booze) and 'gin' is located in the answer.
'golf' could be 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'g' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for longing that I've seen before include "thirsty" , "Earnest, heartfelt desire" , "Hunger" , "Deeply felt desire" , "Yearning desire" .)
