Must the workers sweat a bit in order to do so? (3)
I believe the answer is:
eat
'must' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'workers sweat a bit in order to do so?' is the wordplay.
'EAT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "tolerate in diet" , "Make food disappear" , "Feed" , "Gobble up" , "put away" .)
