Taken in by host, am I naming what allows me to stay? (7)
I believe the answer is:
stamina
'allows me to stay?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'taken in by host am i naming' is the wordplay.
'taken in by' indicates a hidden word.
'STAMINA' can be found hidden inside 'host am i naming'.
'what' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stamina that I've seen before include "The ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort" , "perseverance" , "capability to keep going" , "Enduring energy" , "Ability to keep going" .)
