Avoids reading things full of rubbish? (5)
I believe the answer is:
skips
'avoids' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skips that I've seen before include "Large containers for rubbish" , "Waste containers" .)
