The bill for drinks or some eatables (3)
I believe the answer is:
tab
'the bill' is the definition.
(a tab is a bill at a bar)
'drinks or some eatables' is the wordplay.
'TAB' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tab that I've seen before include "Running bar bill" , "Flap; illicit drug pill (slang)" , "Till bill" , "Text indent key" , "The bill in a restaurant" .)
