Outline editor sent back, one putting pen to paper? (8)
I believe the answer is:
describe
'outline' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for describe that I've seen before include "Illustrate" , "style" , "Portray - narrate" , "Draw (figure); give account of" , "Say what something is like (8)" .)
