Appraise import arrangements in order to steal (14)
I believe the answer is:
misappropriate
'to steal' is the definition.
(misappropriating is a kind of stealing)
'appraise import arrangements' is the wordplay.
'arrangements' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'arrangement' mean this).
'appraise'+'import'='appraiseimport'
'appraiseimport' anagrammed gives 'MISAPPROPRIATE'.
'in order' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misappropriate that I've seen before include "Wrongly assume" , "pocket" , "embezzle" , "Nick" , "Lift" .)
