Gathered grain? He starved unfortunately (9)
I believe the answer is:
harvested
'gathered grain?' is the definition.
'harvested' can be an answer for 'gathered' (harvesting is a kind of gathering). I'm not sure about the 'grain?' bit.
'he starved unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'he'+'starved'='hestarved'
'hestarved' with letters rearranged gives 'HARVESTED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for harvested that I've seen before include "He starved (anag) -- gathered food" , "Gathered, reaped" , "Gathered in the crops" .)
