Mention of meat may interest hunters (4)
I believe the answer is:
meet
'interest hunters' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'mention of meat' is the wordplay.
'mention of' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'mentioning' mean this).
'meat' is a homophone of 'MEET'.
'may' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meet that I've seen before include "Fitting - encounter" , "Hunt gathering" , "sporting occasion" , "Come across" , "Bump into" .)
