'for' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'me to be in bed is something heavenly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'me' is within the answer.
'bed' could be 'cot' (cot is a type of bed) and 'cot' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
