Nowadays includes something to eat (3)
I believe the answer is:
wad
'something to eat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'nowadays includes' is the wordplay.
'includes' indicates a hidden word.
'WAD' is hidden in the letters of 'nowadays'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wad that I've seen before include "Bankroll; sandwich (slang)" , "A bundle as of documents or banknotes" , "Pad of loose material used for packing" , "Lump or bundle of soft material" , "A thick bundle, maybe of money" .)
