Spirit imbibed — get hospitalised (5)
I believe the answer is:
ethos
'spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'imbibed get hospitalised' is the wordplay.
'ETHOS' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ethos that I've seen before include "Character of a community or age" , "Distinctive spirit - character" , "Moral atmosphere" , "Distinctive traits of a culture, time etc" , "The distinctive spirit of a culture or an era" .)
