Feeling the effects of fast (6)
I believe the answer is:
hungry
This might be a double definition.
'feeling' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'effects of fast' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "Wanting food" , "Needing food" , "In need of nourishment" , "Short of food" , "Infertile" .)
