Lover of food and punishment? (7)
I believe the answer is:
glutton
This clue might be a double definition.
'lover of food' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'punishment?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glutton that I've seen before include "One who eats to excess" , "Pig" , "Excessive eater; wolverine" , "One eats too much" , "Over-eater" .)
