Honoured with a meal round the Turk’s Head (5)
I believe the answer is:
feted
'honoured' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a meal round the turk's head' is the wordplay.
'a meal' becomes 'feed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'turks' is 't'.
'feed' placed around 't' is 'FETED'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feted that I've seen before include "Honoured with festivities" , "Honoured lavishly" , "Lionised" , "Wined and dined, celebrated" , "Wined, dined and honoured" .)
