Crossword Genius

Meagre pint served for soak (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impregnate

'soak' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'meagre pint served' is the wordplay.
'served' is an anagram indicator.
'meagre'+'pint'='meagrepint'
'meagrepint' anagrammed gives 'IMPREGNATE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for impregnate that I've seen before include "Saturate - permeating (anag)" , "Fill" , "soak" , "Saturate with a substance" , "Infuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
