Chitty (note) - 'chit' (young child) + 't(in)y' (extremely)

CHITTY

[rexlast]

can someone explain the answer "behave" please. I don't follow

[Captain2]

Live = BE
Man = HE
A victorty = A V

[fiction-factory]

to live is to be
man is he
A victory = A V

[fiction-factory]

and act = behave

[frugalfred]

alive = be; victory = v; man = he; in my earlier post I asked if the clue said "A victory"; if so, that would account for the A.

[fiction-factory]

Yes, i was assuming you were right, frugalfred- it was the only way i could make it work

[Captain2]

Ditto, Fred

Many thanks - that is pretty convoluted even for Scotland on Sunday...
