Give me a home on the outskirts that’s humble (6)
I believe the answer is:
demean
'that's humble' is the definition.
(demeaning is a kind of humbling)
'give me a home on' is the wordplay.
'give' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'home' becomes 'den' (I've seen this before).
'on' indicates putting letters inside (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'me' next to 'a' is 'mea'.
'mea' placed inside 'den' is 'DEMEAN'.
'the outskirts' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for demean that I've seen before include "Discredit" , "Cause (someone) to suffer loss of dignity" , "make base" , "Lower, degrade" , "Belittle; degrade" .)
