Money paid for food? (4)
I believe the answer is:
fare
'for food?' is the definition.
(fare is a kind of food)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "Taxi hire cost" , "Price of passage" , "Range of food; travel" , "diet" , "Food for the table" .)
