Tabitha to stray in her environment? (7)
I believe the answer is:
habitat
'environment?' is the definition.
(I know that habitat is a type of environment)
'tabitha to stray' is the wordplay.
'to stray' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tabitha' is an anagram of 'HABITAT'.
'in her' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for habitat that I've seen before include "Animal's environment" , "Local environment" , "place haunted" , "Environment in which an organism normally lives" , "Natural environment (of creature)" .)
