Ill after start of fast? Get medicine here (8)
I believe the answer is:
pharmacy
'medicine here' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'ill after start of fast?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ill' could be 'harm' (as in doing people ill) and 'harm' is present in the answer.
'fast?' could be 'pacy' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'pacy' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pharmacy that I've seen before include "Medical establishment" , "get medicine here?" , "Where drugs are dispensed" , "It supplies drugs" , "where a remedy is sought" .)
