Want to eat the one fresh termite? (5,3)
I believe the answer is:
white ant
'termite?' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'want to eat the one fresh' is the wordplay.
'to eat' is an insertion indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'fresh' is an anagram indicator (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'the'+'i'='thei'
'thei' anagrammed gives 'hite'.
'want' going around 'hite' is 'WHITE-ANT'.
(Other definitions for white ant that I've seen before include "Termite" , "insect" , "Social worker" .)
