Food in pub for needy type? (6)
I believe the answer is:
beggar
'needy type?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'food in pub' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'egg' (egg is a kind of food).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pub' becomes 'bar' (both are drinking establishments).
'egg' placed inside 'bar' is 'BEGGAR'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beggar that I've seen before include "One pleading desperately" , "One lives by asking for money or food" , "One may entreat you" , "Pauper or supplicant" , "Solicitor" .)
