Forage around a frequented place (5)
I believe the answer is:
haunt
'frequented place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'forage around a' is the wordplay.
'forage' becomes 'hunt' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'hunt' going around 'a' is 'HAUNT'.
(Other definitions for haunt that I've seen before include "Regularly visit" , "Place regularly frequented" , "Frequent (a place)" , "get spirits?" , "Visit as a ghost" .)
