Person deprived of food (10)

I believe the answer is:

starveling

(Other definitions for starveling that I've seen before include "Character in A Midsummer Night's Dream" , "Athens tailor (AMND)" , "Literary tailor" , "famished child" , "Shakespearean tailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
