Program to take pain from running initially? I'll have anything for a quiet life (8)
I believe the answer is:
appeaser
'i'll have anything for a quiet life' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'program to take pain from running initially?' is the wordplay.
'program' becomes 'app' (type of computer program).
'to take' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take').
'pain from running' becomes 'ease' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'initially?' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go before others).
'r' put after 'ease' is 'easer'.
'app'+'easer'='APPEASER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appeaser that I've seen before include "One who propitiates by concessions" , "one seeking peace and quiet" , "One who gives in to demands for a quiet life" .)
