Small part of litter found in bar untouched (4)
I believe the answer is:
runt
'small part of litter' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'in bar untouched' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RUNT' is hidden in the letters of 'bar untouched'.
'found' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for runt that I've seen before include "Undersized pig" , "stunted figure" , "Weakest animal in a litter" , "little one" , "Litter-weakling" .)
