Left in "fine place to eat," though it's lacking point (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
aimless
'it's lacking point' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'left in fine place to eat' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fine' becomes 'ai' (resembles Am, informal term for top quality).
'place to eat' becomes 'mess' (I've seen this before).
'ai'+'mess'='aimess'
'l' put within 'aimess' is 'AIMLESS'.
'though' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aimless that I've seen before include "Without purpose or target" , "Like characters in 5D {WAITING FOR GODOT]" , "lacking direction" , "Rambling" , "not knowing where to go?" .)
