Put it away in the attic (3)
I believe the answer is:
eat
'put it away' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in the attic' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EAT' is hidden in the letters of 'the attic'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eat that I've seen before include "Consume (food)" , "tolerate in diet" , "Bite, chew and swallow" , "Do cats - bats? Do bats - cats? (Alice in Wonderland)" , "Scoff" .)
