Complain train’s getting rackety? Prepared to limit volume internally (10)
I believe the answer is:
animadvert
'complain' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'train's getting rackety? prepared to limit volume internally' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'volume' could be 'v' (abbreviation for volume in book titles) and 'v' is located in the answer.
'prepared' could be 'made' ('make' can be a synonym of 'prepare') and 'made' is found within the leftover letters.
an anagram of 'train' is 'anirt' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for animadvert that I've seen before include "Criticize" , "comment critically" , "Criticise" , "Censure" .)
