Person in A&E for accommodation (5)
I believe the answer is:
abode
'accommodation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'person in ae' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'bod' going into 'ae' is 'ABODE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "stay" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "Where one lives" , "Pad" , "House made of adobe" .)
