Get ready for a night out? (6)
I believe the answer is:
encamp
'night out?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.
'get ready for a' is the wordplay.
'get ready for' becomes 'enc' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a' becomes 'amp' (A is the symbol for the amp or ampere).
'enc'+'amp'='ENCAMP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for encamp that I've seen before include "set up home?" , "Go in for canvassing" , "Lodge in tents (mil.)" , "Establish a tented site" , "Settle into a tent" .)
