About to cry out for a living place! (7)
I believe the answer is:
rectory
'living place' is the definition.
'rectory' can be an answer for 'living' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'place' bit.
'about to cry out' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'to' placed inside 'cry' is 'ctory'.
're'+'ctory'='RECTORY'
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rectory that I've seen before include "Ecclesiastical dwelling-house" , "Clergyman's residence" , "Incumbent's house" , "minister's place" , "Accommodation for minister" .)
