Don’t starve in a humble attic (3)
I believe the answer is:
eat
'don't starve' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in a humble attic' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EAT' is hidden in the letters of 'humble attic'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "Make food disappear" , "Use a knife and fork" , "Gobble up" , "to do etching?" , "and 27: Be humiliated" .)
