Look about five, and go hungry (6)
I believe the answer is:
starve
'go hungry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'look about five' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'stare' (stare is a kind of look**).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'five' becomes 'v' (roman numeral).
'stare' placed around 'v' is 'STARVE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for starve that I've seen before include "Stop feeding" , "Eat nothing" , "Averts (anag)" , "Deprive of sustenance" , "Vaster (anag)" .)
