Nurse infant over advanced influenza, finally getting spicy food (9)
I believe the answer is:
enchilada
'spicy food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'nurse infant over advanced influenza finally' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'nurse' could be 'en' (abbreviation for state-enrolled nurse) and 'en' is found in the answer.
'advanced' could be 'a' (abbreviation) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'infant' could be 'child' (I've seen this before) and 'child' is found within the leftover letters.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'getting' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "Tortilla and chilli dish" , "Filled tortilla served with chilli sauce" , "Hot food" , "wrap" , "Mexican food" .)
