Amalgamate with me taking in a certain amount of work (5)
I believe the answer is:
merge
'amalgamate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'me taking in a certain amount of work' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'me' is within the answer.
'amount' could be 'r' (R is an example) and 'r' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ge' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for merge that I've seen before include "Fuse" , "Become one" , "Join into one" , "Amalgamate" , "Combine into one" .)
