Writing off forced migrations (10)
I believe the answer is:
amortising
'writing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'forced migrations' is the wordplay.
'forced' indicates anagramming the letters.
'migrations' with letters rearranged gives 'AMORTISING'.
'off' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
