American expelled from country for going without fare (6)
I believe the answer is:
hungry
'going without fare' is the definition.
(fare can mean food)
'american expelled from country' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'expelled from' is a deletion indicator.
'country' becomes 'hungary' (Hungary is an example).
'hungary' with 'a' taken away is 'HUNGRY'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for hungry that I've seen before include "Peckish" , "In want of food" , "Craving food" , "In need of nourishment" , "Requiring food" .)
