Set limit at eight for internal copy (7)
I believe the answer is:
imitate
'copy' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'set limit at eight for internal' is the wordplay.
'IMITATE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for imitate that I've seen before include "Copy, simulate" , "I ate Tim! (anag.)" , "Mimic or follow as a model" , "Appear like, in behaviour or appearance" , "Copy or mimic" .)
