Close friend to drop a hint (8 letters)
_ n _ i _ a _ t _

I think it might be INTIMATE which means close. I can relate the "mate" to friend but I cannot get the connection between "inti" and drop a hint. Maybe my thinking is totally wrong. Can anyone help. Many thanks.

Thanks a million hc4361 and penelope2. Excellent explanation. My thinking was a wee bit obtuse there. I allowed myself to focus in on the "mate" and did not see that intimate meant to hint. Thank you so so much. Extremely helpful.
