Where there's food, an insect will nose about (6)
I believe the answer is:
pantry
'where there's food' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'insect will nose about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'insect' could be 'ant' (ant is a kind of insect) and 'ant' is located in the answer.
'nose' could be 'pry' (to nose around is to pry) and 'pry' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'an' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pantry that I've seen before include "Kitchen storeroom" , "Room off the kitchen" , "Small room or cupboard for storing food" , "Store cupboard" , "Small storeroom for food etc" .)
