Consider change to script that bores friend (8)
I believe the answer is:
meditate
'consider' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'change to script that bores friend' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'change' could be 'edit' (edit can mean to change or alter) and 'edit' is found within the answer.
'friend' could be 'mate' (mate is a kind of friend) and 'mate' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meditate that I've seen before include "Think deeply and quietly" , "Think contemplatively" , "Cogitate" , "Relax mentally" , "Engage in contemplation" .)
