Wake in a feeble state (4)
I believe the answer is:
weak
'a feeble state' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'wake' is the wordplay.
'wake' anagrams to 'WEAK'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weak that I've seen before include "Feeble or frail" , "Helpless" , "Lacking strength" , "Feeble, powerless" , "Spent" .)
