Acquire some strange things (3)
I believe the answer is:
get
'acquire' is the definition.
(I know that acquire can be written as get)
'some strange things' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'GET' is hidden within 'strange things'.
(Other definitions for get that I've seen before include "Escape" , "Receive; obtain" , "See 18" , "Understand" , "Acquire" .)
