Take five observing Ramadan partaking of the first meal of the day (12)
I believe the answer is:
breakfasting
'take five observing ramadan partaking of the' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'first meal of the day' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'meal' could be 'breakfast' (breakfast is a kind of meal) and 'breakfast' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
