What's left say in delicate environment (6)
I believe the answer is:
legacy
'what's left' is the definition.
(what's left behind by a deceased person)
'say in delicate environment' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'say' could be 'eg' (both can mean 'for example') and 'eg' is located in the answer.
'delicate' could be 'lacy' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'lacy' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for legacy that I've seen before include "Inheritance" , "estate?" , "Hand-me-down" , "Heritage" , "Bombay since 1995" .)
