Soap and food sent in for someone needy (6)
I believe the answer is:
beggar
'sent in for someone needy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'soap and food' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'food' could be 'egg' (egg is a kind of food) and 'egg' is found in the answer.
'soap' could be 'bar' (bar soap is a kind of soap) and 'bar' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beggar that I've seen before include "I ask you!" , "One may entreat you" , "One with no choice?" , "Tramp" , "Pauper who seeks alms" .)
