Pain in stomach eases (4)
I believe the answer is:
ache
'pain' is the definition.
(ache is a kind of pain)
'in stomach eases' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ACHE' is hidden within 'stomach eases'.
(Other definitions for ache that I've seen before include "Long ? pain" , "yearning" , "Feel sore" , "Dull prolonged pain" , "agony" .)
