Crossword Genius

Wait on guests, taking in language (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tongue

'language' is the definition.
(tongue is a kind of language)

'wait on guests taking in' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TONGUE' can be found hidden inside 'wait on guests taking'.

(Other definitions for tongue that I've seen before include "Style of speaking; lick" , "Projecting strip" , "They are hard to say" , "For example, Danish" , "dialect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
