Crossword Genius

Dig for food (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grub

This clue is a double definition.

'dig' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'food' is the second definition.
(grub is a kind of food)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for grub that I've seen before include "food, commonly" , "Insect larva or slang food (4)" , "Slang food for worm-like larva" , "Larva; food (sl.)" , "Worm-like larva of an insect" .)
