Liking small area at the front with parking (8)
I believe the answer is:
appetite
'liking' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'small area at the front with parking' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 'petite' ('petite' can be similar in meaning to 'small'**).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'at the front' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'parking' becomes 'p'.
'petite' put after 'a' is 'apetite'.
'apetite' enclosing 'p' is 'APPETITE'.
(Other definitions for appetite that I've seen before include "thirst" , "Desire, inclination" , "Desire, relish" , "stomach" , "Natural craving" .)
