I am left to bring in the stuff (6)
I believe the answer is:
import
'bring in the stuff' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'i am left' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'im'+'port'='IMPORT'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Convey" , "introduction" , "introduce" , "Item from abroad" , "Bring in from abroad to sell" .)
