Eagle maybe supplied with prescribed food discards wrapping (5)
I believe the answer is:
eddie
'discards wrapping' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'eagle maybe supplied with prescribed food' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'maybe' could be 'i' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'food' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dde' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eddie that I've seen before include "Little Edward" , "-- Grundy (The Archers)" , "- Cochran, US singer" , "The Eagle perhaps" , "- Izzard, stand-up comic" .)
