Empty article from a country (6)
I believe the answer is:
hungry
'empty' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'article from a country' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'un' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'un' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "Needing food" , "hoping for a bite?" , "Desiring food" , "Empty" , "In want of food" .)
