Urchin gets a cake after scrap (10)
I believe the answer is:
ragamuffin
'urchin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a cake after scrap' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
'cake' could be 'muffin' (I've seen this before) and 'muffin' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'gets' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ragamuffin that I've seen before include "Poor mite" , "Scruffy urchin" , "Disreputable type" , "Waif" , "Tatterdemalion" .)
