Did pirate provide pie for fish o eat? (6)
I believe the answer is:
copied
'did pirate provide pie' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fish o eat?' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'cod' (type of fish).
'o' becomes 'pie' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'eat?' indicates putting letters inside.
'cod' enclosing 'pie' is 'COPIED'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for copied that I've seen before include "made a transcript" , "Imitated, reproduced" , "most sincerely flattered" , "Imitated or replicated" , "Imitated or recreated" .)
