Comments on the clue
1.Definition doesn't seem quite right to me – mastery is a bit more than getting the hang of something.
2.An inspired clue!
3.'Biting into' does not seem like a valid indicator for insertion. 'Original sin' would be a better phrase to use.
4.Good idea, but the use of "originally" (to reference "original sin"?) makes it clunky
5.eater<>apple … 'kind of apple / apple for example'
