Acquire said crock? (4)
I believe the answer is:
earn
This could be a double definition.
'acquire' is the first definition.
(earning is a kind of acquiring)
'said crock?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earn that I've seen before include "Acquire by one's efforts" , "Be paid for work" , "Secure" , "Deserve; get paid" , "and 3: Work for bed and board" .)
