Stop heading for takeaways? (4)
I believe the answer is:
diet
'stop heading for takeaways?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'stop heading for takeaways?' is the wordplay.
'stop' becomes 'die' (as in a machine stopping or dying).
'heading for' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'takeaways' is 't'.
'die'+'t'='DIET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for diet that I've seen before include "Food - parliament" , "provisions" , "Legislative assembly; food regimen" , "Restrict food-intake" , "Weight-loss plan" .)
