Look into leakage from this thin cut (8)
I believe the answer is:
escalope
'this thin cut' is the definition.
'escalope' can be an answer for 'cut' (escalope is a kind of cut). I am not certain of the 'this thin' bit.
'look into leakage' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'leakage' becomes 'escape' (synonyms).
'lo' placed within 'escape' is 'ESCALOPE'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escalope that I've seen before include "food" , "Thin slice of boneless veal" , "Thin piece of meat" , "F" , "what might feature in the catering" .)
