White animal in frame from Magritte or Munch (9)
I believe the answer is:
masticate
'munch' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'white animal in frame from magritte' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'animal' could be 'cat' (cats are animals) and 'cat' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for masticate that I've seen before include "Chew food" , "Process food" , "deal with mouthful" , "Torpor" , "Crush" .)
