Hide from king overwhelmed by lust? (4)
I believe the answer is:
skin
'hide' is the definition.
('skin' can be a synonym of 'hide')
'king overwhelmed by lust?' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'k'.
'overwhelmed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (I've seen this in other clues).
'lust?' becomes 'sin' (lust is a kind of sin).
'k' put within 'sin' is 'SKIN'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for skin that I've seen before include "Outer layer of a fruit or vegetable" , "External membrane of body" , "Hide - flay" , "Scrape, as the knee" , "Living tissue" .)
