Was nibbling sandwiches Adam's first temptation? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bait
'temptation?' is the definition.
(bait is a kind of temptation)
'was nibbling sandwiches adam's first' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bait that I've seen before include "Deliberately annoy or taunt" , "What lures" , "Lure; tease" , "Angler's lure for fish" , "Boilie, for example" .)
