Support ecstasy habit, immoral, keeping place for it? (8)
I believe the answer is:
evidence
'support' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ecstasy habit immoral keeping place for it?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'ecstasy' could be 'e' (informal term for the drug) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'place' could be 'den' (den is a kind of place) and 'den' is found in the answer.
'habit' could be 'vice' (I have seen 'Bad habit' mean 'vice' so perhaps 'habit' could also mean 'vice') and 'vice' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evidence that I've seen before include "Facts and figures relevant to a case" , "Pressing necessity" , "See 10" , "Information in a law case" , "Information to help form a conclusion" .)
