Almost overlook blacksmith's place (5)
I believe the answer is:
forge
'blacksmith's place' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with creating things as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'almost overlook' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (almost the whole word is kept).
'overlook' becomes 'forget' (forgetting is a kind of overlooking).
'forget' with its last letter taken away is 'FORGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forge that I've seen before include "Create by hammering" , "Furnace for heating metal" , "Counterfeit - smithy" , "Ironworks" , "Fabricate" .)
