Girl eating peeled vegetable elicits comment in writing (8)
I believe the answer is:
annotate
'comment in writing' is the definition.
'annotate' can be an answer for 'comment' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'in writing' bit.
'girl eating peeled vegetable elicits' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'tate' and 'tate' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'anno' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annotate that I've seen before include "Make notes upon" , "Add explanatory comments" , "Add notes to (text)" , "Add explanations and comments to (a text)" , "Mark" .)
