They nourish, yet leave me also loveless (5)
I believe the answer is:
meals
'they nourish yet' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'me also loveless' is the wordplay.
'also loveless' becomes 'als' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'me'+'als'='MEALS'
'leave' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meals that I've seen before include "Repasts" , "Breakfast, dinner and tea" , "Collations" .)
