scrap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'fight' is the first definition.
(a scrap is a minor fight)

'mere morsel' is the second definition.
'scrap' can be an answer for 'morsel' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'mere' bit.

'for a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrap that I've seen before include "Fight; abolish" , "Ditch - dust-up" , "Tussle over junk metal?" , "Break up - fight" , "Abolish; leftover" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
