Live, dressed as monk? (7)
I believe the answer is:
inhabit
'live' is the definition.
(I know that live can be written as inhabit)
'as monk?' is the wordplay.
'as' becomes 'in' (I've seen this in other clues).
'monk?' becomes 'habit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'habit'='INHABIT'
'dressed' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inhabit that I've seen before include "Live in (a place)" , "Occupy - settle" , "Occupy (dwelling)" , "people" , "Live in, occupy" .)
