Admired nervous interns going over to apply cement (6)
I believe the answer is:
render
'cement' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'admired nervous interns going over to apply' is the wordplay.
'RENDER' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for render that I've seen before include "Give performance or melt down fat" , "Deliver" , "initial cover" , "Melt down like fat" , "Substance applied to masonry walls" .)
