Uneasy when the others get a smaller share (8)
I believe the answer is:
restless
'uneasy' is the definition.
(I know that uneasy can be written as restless)
'the others get a smaller share' is the wordplay.
'the others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'a smaller share' becomes 'less' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rest'+'less'='RESTLESS'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for restless that I've seen before include "Never still" , "Unable to sit still" , "Constantly moving about or fidgeting" , "Uneasy and agitated" , "Unable to keep still" .)
