tucks in

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eats heartily' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to consumption as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'sherwood friar with fault' is the wordplay.
'sherwood friar' becomes 'tuck' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fault' becomes 'sin' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tuck'+'sin'='TUCKS IN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tucks in that I've seen before include "has hearty meal" , "Greedily eats" .)
