Meat consumer after replacement that’s equivalent (12)
I believe the answer is:
commensurate
'equivalent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'meat consumer after replacement' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'replacement' indicates an anagram.
'meat'+'consumer'='meatconsumer'
'meatconsumer' is an anagram of 'COMMENSURATE'.
'that's' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for commensurate that I've seen before include "Proportionate" , "Corresponding with" , "equal" , "In proportion" , "Appropriate (to)" .)
