A Bandon developer ignores levee
I believe the answer is:
drop
'levee' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drop that I've seen before include "shed" , "Unload" , "Decline - fall" , "A little medicine" , "Collapse, globule" .)
