I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">censor</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">bowdlerise</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for expurgate that I've seen before include "Remove unsuitable material from (a text)" , "Remove obscenities" , "Amend to remove anything deemed offensive - eg pure tax (anag)" , "Remove objectionable matter from book" , "Bowdlerise" .)
