Humanitarian tip to disrupt bigger famine outcome (6)
I believe the answer is:
hunger
'famine outcome' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'humanitarian tip to disrupt bigger' is the wordplay.
'tip' says to take the final letters (one tip of the word).
'to disrupt' is an insertion indicator (inside letters 'disrupt' the flow of outside one).
'bigger' becomes 'huger' ('huge' can be similar in meaning to 'big').
The last letter of 'humanitarian' is 'n'.
'n' placed inside 'huger' is 'HUNGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hunger that I've seen before include "Crave" , "Physiological need for food" , "Appetite" , "ache" , "Tummy-rumbling desire" .)
