Something to bear to the other side? (6)
I believe the answer is:
across
'side?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'something to bear to the other' is the wordplay.
'something to bear' becomes 'cross' (I've seen this before).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the other' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cross' put after 'a' is 'ACROSS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for across that I've seen before include "Facing" , "From side to side, like this clue" , "As this is entered" , "Traversing" , "From one side to another" .)
