'suffered lack' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'humour stuck in hut on wet ground' is the wordplay.
'humour' becomes 'wit' (synonyms).
'stuck in' is an insertion indicator.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
'hut'+'on'+'wet'='hutonwet'
'hutonwet' with letters rearranged gives 'wenthout'.
'wit' going within 'wenthout' is 'WENT WITHOUT'.

'of' acts as a link.
