Like food given to King? It's within the bounds of possibility (8)
I believe the answer is:
credible
'within the bounds of possibility' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'like food given to king?' is the wordplay.
'like food' becomes 'edible' (food should be edible).
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'king?' becomes 'CR' (short for Carolus Rex, King Charles in Latin).
'edible' after 'cr' is 'CREDIBLE'.
'it's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for credible that I've seen before include "Likely to be believed" , "Possible to believe" , "easy to swallow" , "Seemingly worthy of belief" , "Worth buying" .)
