Bail out a working group? Just the other way around! (7)
I believe the answer is:
abandon
'bail' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a working group? just the other way around' is the wordplay.
'a working group? just' becomes 'aband' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the other' indicates anagramming the letters.
'way' becomes 'n' (Compass direction - North).
'around' becomes 'o' (a round letter).
'n'+'o'='no'
'no' is an anagram of 'on'.
'aband'+'on'='ABANDON'
'out' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abandon that I've seen before include "Jack in" , "Desert; give up (action)" , "Desert - recklessness" , "Leave, desert" , "Desert - it's wild" .)
