Natural food of the osprey (4)
I believe the answer is:
prey
'natural' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'food of the osprey' is the wordplay.
'PREY' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prey that I've seen before include "Animal hunted or caught for food" , "Animal hunted and killed for food" , "Quarry, target" , "Animal's victim" , "Animal's quarry" .)
