Strip of hot jerky mum's brother eats (8)
I believe the answer is:
unclothe
'strip' is the definition.
(as in stripping off clothing)
'hot jerky mum's brother eats' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'hot' is 'oth' which is within the answer.
'brother' could be 'uncle' (I have seen 'Brother of parent ' mean 'uncle' so perhaps 'brother' could also mean 'uncle') and 'uncle' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unclothe that I've seen before include "lay bare" , "Reveal" , "set garments aside" , "Strip (someone)" , "shed" .)
