Like the laugh of a hungry man? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hollow
'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'laugh of a hungry man?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'laugh' could be 'ho' (representation of a laughing sound) and 'ho' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hollow that I've seen before include "Pyrrhic" , "Concave - sunken" , "Not solid, having hole in the middle" , "Cavity or space in something" , "Dent; echoey" .)
