Electric vehicle put in dreary gorge (6)
I believe the answer is:
devour
'gorge' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'electric vehicle put in dreary' is the wordplay.
'electric vehicle' becomes 'ev' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dreary' becomes 'dour' (I've seen this before).
'ev' inserted inside 'dour' is 'DEVOUR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for devour that I've seen before include "Eat (food) hungrily" , "Consume greedily" , "Eat (food) quickly" , "Guzzle" , "Quickly consume" .)
