<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">teaches</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(educating is a kind of teaching)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for educates that I've seen before include "Trains, teaches" , "Instructs, teaches" , "Trains the mind and abilities" .)
