Small vessel with temperature scarcely sufficient (5)
I believe the answer is:
scant
'scarcely sufficient' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scant that I've seen before include "Scarcely sufficient" , "Little" , "Minimal (amount)" , "In short supply" , "Cursory" .)
