Provide receptacle for wine bottles to match the background (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
blend in
'background' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'provide receptacle for wine bottles to match' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'provide' could be 'lend' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lend' is found in the answer.
'receptacle' could be 'bin' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'bin' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blend in that I've seen before include "Fit perfectly into an environment" , "match others" .)
