Say some prayers for the victim! (4)
I believe the answer is:
prey
'victim' is the definition.
(prey is a kind of victim)
'say some prayers' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'pre' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'some' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'prayers' is 'y'.
'pre'+'y'='PREY'
'for the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prey that I've seen before include "Hunter's quarry" , "Animal hunted and killed for food" , "Animal's victim" , "Victim, quarry" , "Animal's quarry" .)
