Place offering before good man having nothing, more or less (6)
I believe the answer is:
almost
'more or less' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'place offering before good man having nothing' is the wordplay.
'place offering' becomes 'alm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'before' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'good man' becomes 'st'.
'having nothing' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'st' put after 'o' is 'ost'.
'alm'+'ost'='ALMOST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for almost that I've seen before include "Slightly short of" , "practically" , "Nearly, not quite" , "Virtually" , "Not entirely" .)
