Passed away consuming French wine, it was foretold (7)
I believe the answer is:
divined
'foretold' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'passed away consuming french wine it' is the wordplay.
'passed away' becomes 'did' (doing is a kind of passing. I am not sure about the 'away' bit.).
'consuming' indicates putting letters inside.
'french wine' becomes 'vin' ('wine' in French).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'vin'+'e'='vine'
'did' enclosing 'vine' is 'DIVINED'.
'was' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for divined that I've seen before include "forecast" , "foretold" .)
