Allowed on court? (3)
I believe the answer is:
let
This clue could be a double definition.
'allowed' is the first definition.
(to let is to allow or permit)
'court?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for let that I've seen before include "Allow - hire" , "Allow, don't hinder" , "Allow on the tennis court" , "Was inclined to ignore" , "Allow; permit" .)
