Bring food, initially, and eat out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fetch

'bring' is the definition.
(I know that bring can be written as fetch)

'food initially and eat out' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'eat out' becomes 'etch' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'food' is 'f'.
'f'+'etch'='FETCH'

(Other definitions for fetch that I've seen before include "double" , "Command to a gun dog" , "Sell for" , "Go and bring back" , "Achieve (price) when sold" .)
