Something left, for example, in flimsy wrapping? (6)
I believe the answer is:
legacy
'something left' is the definition.
(something left in someone's will)
'example in flimsy wrapping?' is the wordplay.
'example' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
'in flimsy' becomes 'lacy' (lace is a flimsy material. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'wrapping?' is an insertion indicator.
'eg' placed within 'lacy' is 'LEGACY'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legacy that I've seen before include "Hand-me-down" , "One inherited" , "Willed gift" , "Bombay since 1995" , "A bequest, something left in a will" .)
