Energy in sliced meat for guiding light (6)
I believe the answer is:
beacon
'guiding light' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'energy in sliced meat' is the wordplay.
'energy' becomes 'AC' (AC is an example).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'sliced meat' becomes 'beon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ac' going into 'beon' is 'BEACON'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "A warning light as on headland" , "Warning light on hill or cliff" , "Warning light on tower or hill" , "Signal light on hill" , "Signal fire - transmitter" .)
